Zechariah 10
|
|
| 10:1
Ask ye 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 10:3
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats:
for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath
made them as his goodly horse in the battle. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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 upon
them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD
their God, and will hear them. |
|
| 10:7
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall
rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad;
their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. |
|
| 10:8
I will hiss for them,
and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they
have increased. |
"I will hiss for them."
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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 sceptre of Egypt shall depart
away. |
"All the deeps of the river shall dry up."
The river of Egypt (identified as the Nile
in NIV, NASB, and RSV) shall dry up. This has never occurred.
|
| 10:12
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in
his name, saith the LORD.
