akjv - Zechariah:10-11

akjv@Zechariah:10:1 @ Ask you of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

akjv@Zechariah:10:2 @ For 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.

akjv@Zechariah:10:3 @ My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts has visited his flock the house of Judah, and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

akjv@Zechariah:10:4 @ Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

akjv@Zechariah:10:5 @ And they shall be as mighty men, which 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.

akjv@Zechariah:10:6 @ And 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 on them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

akjv@Zechariah:10:7 @ And 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.

akjv@Zechariah:10:8 @ I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

akjv@Zechariah:10:9 @ And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

akjv@Zechariah:10:10 @ 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 shall not be found for them.

akjv@Zechariah:10:11 @ And 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 away.

akjv@Zechariah:10:12 @ And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, said the LORD.

akjv@Zechariah:11:1 @ Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.

akjv@Zechariah:11:2 @ Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

akjv@Zechariah:11:3 @ There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

akjv@Zechariah:11:4 @ Thus said the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

akjv@Zechariah:11:5 @ Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

akjv@Zechariah:11:6 @ For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, said the LORD: but, see, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor' hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

akjv@Zechariah:11:7 @ And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

akjv@Zechariah:11:8 @ Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

akjv@Zechariah:11:9 @ Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

akjv@Zechariah:11:10 @ And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

akjv@Zechariah:11:11 @ And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited on me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

akjv@Zechariah:11:12 @ And I said to them, If you think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

akjv@Zechariah:11:13 @ And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

akjv@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

akjv@Zechariah:11:15 @ And the LORD said to me, Take to you yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

akjv@Zechariah:11:16 @ For, see, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

akjv@Zechariah:11:17 @ Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves the flock! the sword shall be on his arm, and on his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

akjv@Zechariah:12:1 @ The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, said the LORD, which stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
