Zechariah 10
1¶ Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain, so the Lord shall make lightnings and shall give you abundant rain and grass in the field to each one.
2For the idols have spoken vanity and the diviners have seen a lie and have told vain dreams; they comfort in vain; therefore they went their way like sheep; they were humbled because there was no shepherd.
3My anger is kindled against the pastors, and I will visit the he goats, for the Lord of the hosts shall visit his flock, the house of Judah, and shall make them as his horse of honour in the battle.
4Out of him shall come the corner, out of him the stake, out of him the battle bow, out of him also every oppressor.
5¶ And they shall be as mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight because the Lord shall be with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6For I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will keep the house of Joseph, and I will cause them to return; for I shall have compassion 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.
7And those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine, their sons shall also see it and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
8I will hiss for them and gather them; for I have ransomed them; and they shall be multiplied as they were multiplied.
9 It was good that I planted them among the peoples; even in far countries there shall be mention made of me; and they shall live with their sons and turn again.
10I 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.
11And the tribulation shall pass through the sea 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 be lost.
12And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.

Zecharyah 10
10
1Ask ye of Hashem rain in the time of the latter rain; from Hashem who makes the storm clouds, and gives them showers of rain, to every one esev#10:1 Gn 1:12 in the sadeh.
2For the terafim (idols) have spoken aven (deceit, nothing), and the diviners#10:2 i.e., fortune tellers envision sheker, and have told false chalomot (dreams); hevel is their comfort; therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a ro'eh (shepherd).
3Mine anger was kindled against the ro'im (shepherds), and I punished the attudim (he-goats, leaders); for Hashem Tzva'os hath visited His eder (flock), Bais Yehudah, and hath made them like His majestic war horse.
4From him#10:4 Yehudah will come forth the Pinnah (Cornerstone),#10:4 i.e., Moshiach, Isa 28:16; Gn 49:10 from him, the Yated (Tent Peg),#10:4 support, i.e. leader of the people, Isa 22:23-24 from him, the Keshet Milchamah (battle bow),#10:4 Ps 45:5 from him every ruler.
5Together they#10:5 Bais Yehudah, (10:3) shall be like gibborim, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the milchamah; and they shall fight, because Hashem is with them, and they shall overthrow the riders on susim.
6And I will strengthen the Bais Yehudah, and I will save the Bais Yosef, and I will restore them; for I have rachamim upon them; and they shall be as though I had not rejected them; for I am Hashem Eloheihem, and I will answer them.
7And they of Ephrayim shall be like a gibbor (mighty man), and their lev shall have simcha as through yayin; yea, their banim shall see, and have simcha, and their lev shall rejoice in Hashem.
8I will whistle for them, and I will gather them in; for I have redeemed them; and they shall multiply as they have multiplied.
9And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember Me in far countries; and they shall survive and live with their banim, and they will return.
10I will bring them back again also out of Eretz Mitzrayim, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the Eretz Gil'ad and Levanon; until no more room shall be found for them.
11And He#10:11 Hashem shall pass through the yam of tzarah, and shall strike the waves in the yam, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the ga'on (pride) of Assyria shall be cast down, and the shevet (scepter)#10:11 i.e., power of Mitzrayim shall depart.
12And I will strengthen them#10:12 Ephrayim (10:7) in Hashem; and they shall walk in Shmo (His Name), saith Hashem.
