Zechariah 10 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Will Redeem Judah and Israel

Zec 10:1

Ask rain from Yahweh at the time of the [fn]late rain

Yahweh who makes the [fn]storm clouds;

And He will give them showers of rain, the plant in the field to each man.

Zec 10:2

For the teraphim speak wickedness,

And the diviners behold [fn]false visions

And speak worthless dreams;

They comfort in vain.

Therefore the people journey like sheep;

They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.

Zec 10:3

“My anger burns against the shepherds,

And I will visit punishment upon the [fn]male goats;

For Yahweh of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah,

And will make them like His splendid horse in battle.

Zec 10:4

“From [fn]them will come the cornerstone,

From [fn]them the tent peg,

From [fn]them the bow of [fn]battle,

From [fn]them every good [fn]taskmaster, all of them together.

Zec 10:5

“And they will be as mighty men,

Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;

And they will battle, for Yahweh will be with them;

And the riders on horses will be put to shame.

Zec 10:6

“I will make the house of Judah mighty,

And I will save the house of Joseph,

And I will [fn]cause them to return,

Because I have had compassion on them;

And they will be as though I had not rejected them,

For I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.

Zec 10:7

“And Ephraim will be like a mighty man,

And their heart will be glad as if from wine;

Indeed, their children will see it and be glad;

[fn]Their heart will rejoice in Yahweh.

Zec 10:8

“I will whistle for them to gather them together,

For I have redeemed them;

And they will be as numerous as they were [fn]before.

Zec 10:9

“And I will sow them among the peoples,

And they will remember Me in far countries,

And they with their children will live and turn back.

Zec 10:10

“Then I will cause them to return from the land of Egypt

And gather them from Assyria;

And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon

[fn]Until no room can be found for them.

Zec 10:11

“And [fn]they will pass through the sea of distress,

And He will strike the waves in the sea,

So that 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.

Zec 10:12

“And I will make them mighty in Yahweh,

And in His name they will walk,” declares Yahweh.
