of Yahweh rain in the time of the latter rain , [
even of ]
Yahweh who makes lightnings ;
and he will give them showers of rain ,
to everyone grass in the field .
*
For the talismans have spoken vanity ,
and the fortune-tellers have seen a lie ;
and they have told false dreams ,
they comfort in vain :
therefore they go their way like sheep ,
they are afflicted ,
because there is no shepherd .
*
My anger is kindled against the shepherds ,
and I will punish the he-goats ;
for Yahweh of hosts has visited his flock ,
the house of Judah ,
and will make them as his goodly horse in the battle .
*
From him will come forth the cornerstone ,
from him the nail ,
from him the battle bow ,
from him every ruler together .
*
And they will be as mighty men ,
treading down [
their enemies ]
in the mire of the streets in the battle ;
and they will fight ,
because Yahweh is with them ;
and the riders on horses will be confounded .
*
And I will strengthen the house of Judah ,
and I will save the house of Joseph ,
and I will bring them back ;
for I have mercy on them ;
and they will be as though I had not cast them off :
for I am Yahweh their God ,
and I will hear them .
*
And [
they of ]
Ephraim will be like a mighty man ,
and their heart will rejoice as through wine ;
yes ,
their sons will see it ,
and rejoice ;
their heart will be glad in Yahweh .
*
I will hiss for them ,
and gather them ;
for I have redeemed them ;
and they will increase as they have increased .
*
And I will sow them among the peoples ;
and they will remember me in far countries ;
and they will raise their sons ,
and will return .
*
I 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 ]
will not be found for them .
*
And he will pass through the sea of affliction ,
and will strike the waves in the sea ,
and all the depths of the Nile will dry up ;
and the pride of Assyria will be brought down ,
and the scepter of Egypt will depart .
*
And I will strengthen them in Yahweh ;
and they will walk up and down in his name ,
says Yahweh .
