Zechariah 10 - Heartlight

¹Ask the LORD for rain in springtime;

the LORD makes the storm clouds,

and He will give everyone showers of rain

and crops in the field.

²For idols speak deceit

and diviners see illusions;

they tell false dreams

and offer empty comfort.

Therefore the people wander like sheep,

oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

³“My anger burns against the shepherds,

and I will punish the leaders.

For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock,

the house of Judah;

He will make them

like His royal steed in battle.

⁴The cornerstone will come from Judah,

the tent peg from him,

as well as the battle bow

and every ruler together.

⁵They will be like mighty men in battle,

trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets.

They will fight because the LORD is with them,

and they will put the horsemen to shame.

⁶I will strengthen the house of Judah

and save the house of Joseph.

I will restore them because I have compassion on them,

and they will be as though I had not rejected them.

For I am the LORD their God,

and I will answer them.

⁷Ephraim will be like a mighty man,

and their hearts will be glad as with wine.

Their children will see it and be joyful;

their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.

⁸I will whistle for them to gather,

for I have redeemed them;

and they will be as numerous

as they once were.

⁹Though I sow them among the nations,

they will remember Me in distant lands;

they and their children

will live and return.

¹⁰I will bring them back from Egypt

and gather them from Assyria.

I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon

until no more room is found for them.

¹¹They will pass through the sea of distress

and strike the waves of the sea;

all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

The pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

¹²I will strengthen them in the LORD,

and in His name they will walk,”

— Zechariah 10
