Zechariah 10
God is to be sought unto, and not idols.
Zechariah 10:1 Aske yee of the LORD raine in the time of the latter raine, [so] the LORD shal make bright clouds, and giue them showres of raine, to euery one grasse in the field. Zechariah 10:2 For the idoles haue spoken vanitie, and the diuiners haue seene a lye, and haue told false dreames; they comfort in vaine: therefore they went their way as a flocke, they were troubled because there [was] no shepheard. Zechariah 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepheards, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hostes hath visited his flocke the house of Iudah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battell. Zechariah 10:4 Out of him [came forth] the corner, out of him the naile, out of him the battell bow, out of him euery oppressour together.
As he visited his flock for sin, so he will save and restore them.
Zechariah 10:5 And they shall bee as mightie men which tread downe [their enemies] in the myre of the streets in the battell, and they shall fight because the LORD [is] with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. Zechariah 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Iudah, and I will saue the house of Ioseph, and I will bring them againe to place them, for I haue mercie vpon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I [am] the LORD their God, & will heare them. Zechariah 10:7 And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mightie man, and their heart shall reioyce as through wine: yea, their children shall see [it], and be glad, their heart shall reioyce in the LORD. Zechariah 10:8 I will hisse for them and gather them, for I haue redeemed them: and they shall increase as they haue increased. Zechariah 10:9 And I will sow them among the people, and they shall remember me in farre countries, and they shall liue with their children, and turne againe. Zechariah 10:10 I will bring them againe 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. Zechariah 10:11 And he shall passe through the sea with affliction, & shall smite the waues in the Sea, and all the deepes of the riuer shall dry vp: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought downe, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away. Zechariah 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they shall walke vp and downe in his name, saith the LORD.
