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.
