Zechariah:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Ask the LORD for rain In the time of the latter rain .
The LORD will make flashing clouds ;
He will give them showers of rain ,
Grass in the field for everyone .
*
For the idols speak delusion ;
The diviners envision lies ,
And tell false dreams ;
They comfort in vain .
Therefore the people wend their way like sheep ;
They are in trouble because there is no shepherd .
* "
My anger is kindled against the shepherds ,
And I will punish the goatherds .
For the LORD of hosts will visit His flock ,
The house of Judah ,
And will make them as His royal horse in the battle .
*
From him comes the cornerstone ,
From him the tent peg ,
From him the battle bow ,
From him every ruler together .
*
They shall be like mighty men ,
Who tread down their enemies In the mire of the streets in the battle .
They shall fight because the LORD is with them ,
And the riders on horses shall be put to shame .
* "
I will strengthen the house of Judah ,
And I will save the house of Joseph .
I will bring them back ,
Because I have mercy on them .
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside ;
For I am the LORD their God ,
And I will hear them .
*
Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man ,
And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine .
Yes ,
their children shall see it and be glad ;
Their heart shall rejoice in the LORD .
*
I will whistle for them and gather them ,
For I will redeem them ;
And they shall increase as they once increased .
* "
I will sow them among the peoples ,
And they shall remember Me in far countries ;
They shall live ,
together with their children ,
And they shall return .
*
I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt ,
And gather them from Assyria .
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon ,
Until no more room is found for them .
*
He shall pass through the sea with affliction ,
And strike the waves of the sea :
All the depths of the River shall dry up .
Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down ,
And the scepter of Egypt shall depart .
* "
So I will strengthen them in the LORD ,
And they shall walk up and down in His name ,"
Says the LORD .
