The
Lord Will Care for Judah
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.
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.
10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD. |
