Zacharias (Zechariah) 10
10
1Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a dock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
3My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle.
4Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him every exacter together.
5And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded.
6And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
7And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord.
8I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.
9And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them.
11And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk 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.
