NASB Bible

Zechariah 10

God Will Bless Judah and Ephraim

1

Ask  arain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain-- The LORD who  bmakes the  1storm clouds; And He will give them  cshowers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.

2

For the  ateraphim speak  1iniquity, And the  bdiviners see  2lying visions And tell  cfalse dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people  3wander like  dsheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.

3

"My  aanger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the  1male goats; For the LORD of hosts has  bvisited His flock, the house of Judah, And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.

4

"From  1them will come the  acornerstone, From  1them the tent peg, From  1them the bow of  bbattle, From  1them every  2ruler, all of them together.

5

"They will be as mighty men,  aTreading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; And they will fight, for the LORD will be with them; And the  briders on horses will be put to shame.

6

"I will  astrengthen the house of Judah, And I will  bsave the house of Joseph, And I will  1 cbring them back, Because I have had  dcompassion on them; And they will be as though I had  enot rejected them, For I am the LORD their God and I will  fanswer them.

7

"Ephraim will be like a mighty man, And their heart will be glad as if from wine; Indeed, their  achildren will see it and be glad,  1Their heart will rejoice in the LORD.

8

"I will  awhistle for them to gather them together, For I have redeemed them; And they will be as  bnumerous as they  1 cwere before.

9

"When I  1scatter them among the peoples, They will  aremember Me in far countries, And they with their children will live and come back.

10

"I will  abring them back from the land of Egypt And gather them from Assyria; And I will bring them into the land of  bGilead and Lebanon  1Until  cno room can be found for them.

11

"And they will pass through the  asea of distress And He will strike the waves in the sea, So that all the depths of the  bNile will dry up; And the pride of  cAssyria will be brought down And the scepter of  dEgypt will depart.

12

"And I will  astrengthen them in the LORD, And in His name  bthey will walk," declares the LORD.
