10Ask the LORD for rain in the season of spring rain. The LORD makes the rain clouds, and He will give them showers of rain and crops in the field for everyone.H7592H3068H4306H6256H4456H3068H6213H2385H5414H1653H4306H376H6212H77042For the idols speak falsehood, and the diviners see illusions; they relate empty dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore [the people] wander like sheep; they suffer affliction because there is no shepherd.H8655H1696H205H7080H2372H8267H1696H7723H2472H5162H1892H5265H6629H6031H74623My anger burns against the shepherds, so I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts has tended His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His majestic steed in battle.H639H2734H7462H6485H6260H3068H6635H6485H5739H1004H3063H7760H1935H5483H44214From them will come the cornerstone, from them the tent peg, from them the battle bow, from them every ruler. TogetherH3318H6438H3489H4421H7198H5065H31625they will be like warriors in battle trampling down the mud of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put horsemen to shame.H1368H947H2916H2351H4421H3898H3068H7392H5483H30016I will strengthen the house of Judah and deliver the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had never rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.H1396H1004H3063H3467H1004H3130H3427H7355H834H2186H3068H430H60307Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their hearts will be glad as if with wine. Their children will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.H669H1368H3820H8055H3196H1121H7200H8055H3820H1523H30688I will whistle and gather them because I have redeemed them; they will be as numerous as they once were.H8319H6908H6299H7235H72359Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in the distant lands; they and their children will live and return.H2232H5971H2142H4801H2421H1121H772510I will bring them back from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon, but it will not be enough for them.H7725H776H4714H6908H804H935H776H1568H3844H467211He 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 come to an end.H5674H3220H6869H5221H1530H3220H4688H2975H3001H1347H804H3381H7626H4714H549312I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they will march in His name— [this is] Yahweh's declaration.H1396H3068H1980H8034H5002H3068
