Zechariah 10:1

Restoration of Judah and Israel

1 Ask ^athe Lord for ^brain
In ^cthe time of the latter rain.
The Lord will make¹ flashing clouds;
He will give them showers of rain,
Grass in the field for everyone.

2 For the ^aidols speak delusion;
The diviners envision ^blies,
And tell false dreams;
They ^ccomfort in vain.
Therefore the people wend their way like ^dsheep;
They are¹ in trouble ^ebecause there is no shepherd.

3 “My anger is kindled against the ^ashepherds,
^bAnd I will punish the¹ goatherds.
For the Lord of hosts ^cwill visit His flock,
The house of Judah,
And ^dwill make them as His royal horse in the battle.

4 From him comes ^athe cornerstone,
From him ^bthe tent peg,
From him the battle bow,
From him every¹ ruler together.

5 They shall be like mighty men,
Who ^atread down their enemies
In the mire of the streets in the battle.
They shall fight because the Lord is with them,
And the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

Zechariah 10:1

Ask ye of the Lord rain - Rain in the due seasons -

1.To impregnate the seed when sown; and

2.To fill the ear near the time of harvest - was so essential to the fertility of the land, and the well-being of the people, that it stands well among the chief of God' s mercies and the promise of it here shows that God designs to ensure the prosperity promised, by using those means by which it was promoted.
