Ask{H7592} ye of Jehovah{H3068} rain{H4306} in the time{H6256} of the latter rain,{H4456} [even of] Jehovah{H3068} that maketh{H6213} lightnings;{H2385} and he will give{H5414} them showers{H1653} of rain,{H4306} to every one{H376} grass{H6212} in the field.{H7704}

For the teraphim{H8655} have spoken{H1696} vanity,{H205} and the diviners{H7080} have seen{H2372} a lie;{H8267} and they have told{H1696} false{H7723} dreams,{H2472} they comfort{H5162} in vain:{H1892} therefore they go{H5265} their way like sheep,{H6629} they are afflicted,{H6031} because there is no shepherd.{H7462}

Mine anger{H639} is kindled{H2734} against the shepherds,{H7462} and I will punish{H6485} the he-goats;{H6260} for Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath visited{H6485} his flock,{H5739} the house{H1004} of Judah,{H3063} and will make{H7760} them as his goodly{H1935} horse{H5483} in the battle.{H4421}

From him shall come forth{H3318} the corner-stone,{H6438} from him the nail,{H3489} from him the battle{H4421} bow,{H7198} from him every ruler{H5065} together.{H3162}

And they shall be as mighty{H1368} men, treading down{H947} [their enemies] in the mire{H2916} of the streets{H2351} in the battle;{H4421} and they shall fight,{H3898} because Jehovah{H3068} is with them; and the riders{H7392} on horses{H5483} shall be confounded.{H3001}

And I will strengthen{H1396} the house{H1004} of Judah,{H3063} and I will save{H3467} the house{H1004} of Joseph,{H3130} and I will bring them back;{H3427} for I have mercy{H7355} upon them; and they shall be as though{H834} I had not cast them off:{H2186} for I am Jehovah{H3068} their God,{H430} and I will hear{H6030} them.

And [they of] Ephraim{H669} shall be like a mighty{H1368} man, and their heart{H3820} shall rejoice{H8055} as through wine;{H3196} yea, their children{H1121} shall see{H7200} it, and rejoice;{H1523} their heart{H3820} shall be glad{H8055} in Jehovah.{H3068}

I will hiss{H8319} for them, and gather{H6908} them; for I have redeemed{H6299} them; and they shall increase{H7235} as they have increased.{H7235}

And I will sow{H2232} them among the peoples;{H5971} and they shall remember{H2142} me in far countries;{H4801} and they shall live{H2421} with their children,{H1121} and shall return.{H7725}

I will bring them again{H7725} also out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and gather{H6908} them out of Assyria;{H804} and I will bring{H935} them into the land{H776} of Gilead{H1568} and Lebanon;{H3844} and [place] shall not be found{H4672} for them.

And he will pass through{H5674} the sea{H3220} of affliction,{H6869} and will smite{H5221} the waves{H1530} in the sea,{H3220} and all the depths{H4688} of the Nile{H2975} shall dry up;{H3001} and the pride{H1347} of Assyria{H804} shall be brought down,{H3381} and the sceptre{H7626} of Egypt{H4714} shall depart.{H5493}

And I will strengthen{H1396} them in Jehovah;{H3068} and they shall walk up and down{H1980} in his name,{H8034} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}
