Zechariah 10

¹ Ask from Yahweh rain in season, the former and the latter rain; Yahweh is making perceptible portents, and a downpour of rain will He give for them, to each man herbage in the field. ² For the household gods speak lawlessness, and the diviners perceive a falsehood, and dreams of futility are they speaking; with vanity they are comforting. Therefore they decamp just as a flock; they are humbled, for there is no grazing. ³ Against the shepherds My anger is hot, and on the he-goats will I visit evil, for Yahweh of hosts shall note His drove, the house of Judah, and will make them as His splendid horse in the battle. ⁴ From him is the cornerstone, from Him is the peg, from Him is the battle bow, from Him shall every exactor fare forth together. ⁵ And they shall become as masters, trampling in the mud of the streets, in the battle, and they shall fight, for Yahweh is with them, and the riders of horses shall be ashamed. ⁶ And I will give mastery to the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph will I save. And I will cause them to dwell, for I have compassion on them, and they shall come to be as if I had not cast them off; for I am Yahweh their Elohim, and I will respond to them. ⁷ And Ephraim shall become as a master, and their heart shall rejoice as from wine, and their sons shall see, and they shall rejoice. Their heart shall exult in Yahweh. ⁸ I shall hiss for them and convene them, for I ransom them, and they increase just as they have increased. ⁹ And I will sow them among the peoples, yet in the far places shall they remember Me. And they shall live with their sons and return. ¹⁰ And I restore them from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria will I convene them. And to the land of Gilead and Lebanon will I bring them, yet no room will be found for them. ¹¹ And He passes in the sea of distress, and He smites the billows in the sea, and all the shadowy depths of the waterway shall be dried. And all the pomp of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall withdraw. ¹² And I will give them mastery in Yahweh, their Elohim, and in His name shall they walk, (averring is Yahweh)."
