CHAPTER 10
Restoration of Judah and Israel
Judah and Israel Restored
1 Ask the LORD for rain
​​In the time of the latter rain.[fn]
​​The LORD will make flashing clouds;
​​He will give them showers of rain,
​​Grass in the field for everyone.
​
2 ​​For the idols[fn] 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.
​
3 ​​“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.
4 ​​From him comes the cornerstone,
​​From him the tent peg,
​​From him the battle bow,
​​From him every ruler[fn] together.
5 ​​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.
​
6 ​​“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.
7 ​​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.
8 ​​I will whistle for them and gather them,
​​For I will redeem them;
​​And they shall increase as they once increased.
​
9 ​​“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.
10 ​​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.
11 ​​He shall pass through the sea with affliction,
​​And strike the waves of the sea:
​​All the depths of the River[fn] shall dry up.
​​Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down,
​​And the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
​
12 ​​“So I will strengthen them in the LORD,
​​And they shall walk up and down in His name,”
​​Says the LORD.
