Zechariah 10:1-5

God Will Bless Judah and Ephraim

¹Ask for rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain—

The Lord who makes the storm winds;

And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each person.

2For the household idols speak deception,

And the diviners see an illusion

And tell deceitful dreams;

They comfort in vain.

Therefore the people wander like sheep,

They are wretched because there is no shepherd.

3“My anger is kindled against the shepherds,

And I will punish the male goats;

For the Lord of armies has visited His flock, the house of Judah,

And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.

4“From them will come the cornerstone,

From them the tent peg,

From them the bow of battle,

From them every tyrant, all of them together.

5“And they will be like warriors,

Trampling down the enemy in the mud of the streets in battle;

And they will fight, because the Lord will be with them;

And the riders on horses will be put to shame.
