Zechariah 10

Ask ye ^aof the Lord rain in the time of ^bthe latter rain;

So the Lord shall make bright clouds,

And ^cgive them showers of rain,

To every one grass in the field.

²For ^dthe idols have spoken vanity,

And ^ethe diviners have seen a lie,

And ^fhave told ^efalse dreams;

^gThey comfort ^din vain:

Therefore they went their way as a flock,

They were troubled, ^hbecause there was no shepherd.

³Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds,

And I punished ⁱthe goats:

For the Lord of hosts ^khath visited his flock the house of Judah,

And hath made them ^las his goodly horse in the battle.

⁴Out of him came forth ^mthe corner, out of him ⁿthe nail,

Out of him ^othe battle bow, out of him every ^poppressor together.

⁵And ^qthey shall be as mighty men, ^rwhich tread down their enemies

^rrIn the mire of the streets in the battle:

And they shall fight, ^sbecause the Lord is with them,

And ^ttthe riders on horses ^ushall be confounded.

⁶And ^vI will strengthen the house of Judah,

And ^vwI will save the house of Joseph,

And ^vwI will bring them again to place them; for I ^yhave mercy upon them:

And they shall be as though I had not cast them off:

For I am the Lord their God, and ^zwill hear them.

⁷And they of Ephraim shall be ^qlike a mighty man,

And ^atheir heart shall rejoice as through wine:

Yea, their children shall see it, and ^bbe glad;

Their heart ^bshall rejoice in the Lord.

^8cI will hiss for them, and ^dgather them; for ^dI have redeemed them:

And ^ethey shall increase ^fas they have increased.

⁹And ^gI will sow them among the people:

And ^hthey shall remember me in far countries;

And they shall live with their children, and turn again.

¹⁰I will bring them again also ⁱout of the land of Egypt,

And gather them ⁱout of Assyria;

And I will bring them into the land of ^jkGilead and ^jlLebanon;

And ^mplace shall not be found for them.

¹¹And ⁿhe shall pass through the sea with affliction,

And shall smite the waves in the sea,

And all the deeps of ^othe river shall dry up:

And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down,

And ^pthe sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

¹²And ^qI will strengthen them in the Lord;

And ^rthey shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
