[1]AskH7592[H8798] ye of the LORDH3068 rainH4306 in the timeH6256 of the latter rainH4456; so the LORDH3068 shall makeH6213[H8802] bright cloudsH2385, and giveH5414[H8799] them showersH1653 of rainH4306, to every oneH376 grassH6212 in the fieldH7704. [1]Ask ye of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ rain in the time of the latter rain, even of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ that maketh lightnings; and He will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
[2]For the idolsH8655 have spokenH1696[H8765] vanityH205, and the divinersH7080[H8802] have seenH2372[H8804] a lieH8267, and have toldH1696[H8762] falseH7723 dreamsH2472; they comfortH5162[H8762] in vainH1892: therefore they wentH5265[H8804] their way as a flockH6629, they were troubledH6031[H8799], because there was no shepherdH7462.[H8802] [2]For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreams speak falsely, they comfort in vain; therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
[3]Mine angerH639 was kindledH2734[H8804] against the shepherdsH7462[H8802], and I punishedH6485[H8799] the goatsH6260: for the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath visitedH6485[H8804] his flockH5739 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and hath madeH7760[H8804] them as his goodlyH1935 horseH5483 in the battleH4421. [3]Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts hath remembered His flock the house of Judah, and maketh them as His majestic horse in the battle.
[4]Out of him came forthH3318[H8799] the cornerH6438, out of him the nailH3489, out of him the battleH4421 bowH7198, out of him every oppressorH5065[H8802] togetherH3162. [4]Out of them shall come forth the corner-stone, out of them the stake, out of them the battle bow, out of them every master together.
[5]And they shall be as mightyH1368 men, which tread downH947[H8802] their enemies in the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351 in the battleH4421: and they shall fightH3898[H8738], because the LORDH3068 is with them, and the ridersH7392[H8802] on horsesH5483 shall be confoundedH3001.[H8689] [5]And they shall be as mighty men, treading down in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight, because ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is with them; and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
[6]And I will strengthenH1396[H8765] the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467[H8686] the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427[H8689] them; for I have mercyH7355[H8765] upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186[H8804]: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 themH8799. [6]And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back, for I have compassion upon them, and they shall be as though I had not cast them off; for I am ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ their God, and I will hear them.
[7]And they of EphraimH669 shall be like a mightyH1368 man, and their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055[H8804] as through wineH3196: yea, their childrenH1121 shall seeH7200[H8799] it, and be gladH8055[H8804]; their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH1523[H8799] in the LORDH3068. [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 rejoice, their heart shall be glad in ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎.
[8]I will hissH8319[H8799] for them, and gatherH6908[H8762] them; for I have redeemedH6299[H8804] them: and they shall increaseH7235[H8804] as they have increasedH7235.[H8804] [8]I will hiss for them, and gather them, for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased.
[9]And I will sowH2232[H8799] them among the peopleH5971: and they shall rememberH2142[H8799] me in far countriesH4801; and they shall liveH2421[H8804] with their childrenH1121, and turn againH7725.[H8804] [9]And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
[10]I will bring them againH7725[H8689] also out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and gatherH6908[H8762] them out of AssyriaH804; and I will bringH935[H8686] them into the landH776 of GileadH1568 and LebanonH3844; and place shall not be foundH4672 for themH8735. [10]I will bring them back also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead a Lebanon; and place shall not suffice them.
[11]And he shall pass throughH5674[H8804] the seaH3220 with afflictionH6869, and shall smiteH5221[H8689] the wavesH1530 in the seaH3220, and all the deepsH4688 of the riverH2975 shall dry upH3001[H8689]: and the prideH1347 of AssyriaH804 shall be brought downH3381[H8717], and the sceptreH7626 of EgyptH4714 shall depart awayH5493.[H8799] [11]And over the sea affliction shall pass, and the waves shall be smitten in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall b brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
[12]And I will strengthenH1396[H8765] them in the LORDH3068; and they shall walk up and downH1980[H8691] in his nameH8034, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. [12]And I will strengthen them in ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; and they shall walk up and down in His name, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎.
