Zechariah 10 — NWB
10Verse 1Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD will make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.Verse 2For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled because there was no shepherd.Verse 3My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.Verse 4Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every oppressor together.Verse 5And they shall be as mighty men , who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.Verse 6And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.Verse 7And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man , and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yes, their children shall see it , and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.Verse 8I will hiss for them, and gather them: for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.Verse 9And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in remote countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.Verse 10I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.Verse 11And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart.Verse 12And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
