H7592 [H8798]
Ask
H3068
ye of the LORD
H4306
rain
H6256
in the time
H4456
of the latter rain
H3068
; so the LORD
H6213 [H8802]
shall make
H2385
bright clouds
H5414 [H8799]
, and give
H1653
them showers
H4306
of rain
H376
, to every one
H6212
grass
H7704
in the field.
2
H8655
For the idols
H1696 [H8765]
have spoken
H205
vanity
H7080 [H8802]
, and the diviners
H2372 [H8804]
have seen
H8267
a lie
H1696 [H8762]
, and have told
H7723
false
H2472
dreams
H5162 [H8762]
; they comfort
H1892
in vain
H5265 [H8804]
: therefore they went
H6629
their way as a flock
H6031 [H8799]
, they were troubled
H7462 [H8802]
, because there was no shepherd.
3
H639
My anger
H2734 [H8804]
was kindled
H7462 [H8802]
against the shepherds
H6485 [H8799]
, and I punished
H6260
the goats
H3068
: for the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H6485 [H8804]
hath visited
H5739
his flock
H1004
the house
H3063
of Judah
H7760 [H8804]
, and hath made
H1935
them as his majestic
H5483
horse
H4421
in the battle.
4
H3318 [H8799]
Out of him came forth
H6438
the corner
H3489
, out of him the nail
H4421
, out of him the battle
H7198
bow
H5065 [H8802]
, out of him every oppressor
H3162
together.
5
H1368
And they shall be as mighty
H947 [H8802]
men, who tread down
H2916
their enemies in the mire
H2351
of the streets
H4421
in the battle
H3898 [H8738]
: and they shall fight
H3068
, because the LORD
H7392 [H8802]
is with them, and the riders
H5483
on horses
H3001 [H8689]
shall be confounded.
6
H1396 [H8765]
And I will strengthen
H1004
the house
H3063
of Judah
H3467 [H8686]
, and I will save
H1004
the house
H3130
of Joseph
H3427 [H8689]
, and I will bring them again to place
H7355 [H8765]
them; for I have mercy
H834
upon them: and they shall be as though
H2186 [H8804]
I had not cast them off
H3068
: for I am the LORD
H430
their God
H6030 [H8799]
, and will hear them.
7
H669
And they of Ephraim
H1368
shall be like a mighty
H3820
man, and their heart
H8055 [H8804]
shall rejoice
H3196
as through wine
H1121
: yea, their children
H7200 [H8799]
shall see
H8055 [H8804]
it, and be glad
H3820
; their heart
H1523 [H8799]
shall rejoice
H3068
in the LORD.
8
H8319 [H8799]
I will hiss
H6908 [H8762]
for them, and gather
H6299 [H8804]
them; for I have redeemed
H7235 [H8804]
them: and they shall increase
H7235 [H8804]
as they have increased.
9
H2232 [H8799]
And I will sow
H5971
them among the people
H2142 [H8799]
: and they shall remember
H4801
me in far countries
H2421 [H8804]
; and they shall live
H1121
with their children
H7725 [H8804]
, and turn again.
10
H7725 [H8689]
I will bring them again
H776
also out of the land
H4714
of Egypt
H6908 [H8762]
, and gather
H804
them out of Assyria
H935 [H8686]
; and I will bring
H776
them into the land
H1568
of Gilead
H3844
and Lebanon
H4672 [H8735]
; and place shall not be found for them.
11
H5674 [H8804]
And he shall pass through
H3220
the sea
H6869
with affliction
H5221 [H8689]
, and shall smite
H1530
the waves
H3220
in the sea
H4688
, and all the deeps
H2975
of the river
H3001 [H8689]
shall dry up
H1347
: and the pride
H804
of Assyria
H3381 [H8717]
shall be brought down
H7626
, and the sceptre
H4714
of Egypt
H5493 [H8799]
shall depart.
