# Zechariah 10

*God is to be sought unto He will save and restore hisjiock.*

**1** Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
**2** For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain; therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
**3** Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats; for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah; and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
**4** Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
**5** And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
**6** And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them: for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
**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 be glad: their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
**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 sow them among the people; and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
**10** I will bring them again 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.
**11** And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
**12** And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
