Restoration of Judah and Israel
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.
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.
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.
From him bthe tent peg,
From him the battle bow,
From him every1 ruler together.
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.
And I will save the house of Joseph.
aI will bring them back,
Because I bhave mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the Lord their God,
And I cwill hear them.
And their aheart shall rejoice as if with wine.
Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
For I will redeem them;
bAnd they shall increase as they once increased.
And they shall bremember Me in far countries;
They shall live, together with their children,
And they shall return.
And gather them from Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon,
bUntil no more room is found for them.
And strike the waves of the sea:
All the depths of1 the River shall dry up.
Then bthe pride of Assyria shall be brought down,
And cthe scepter of Egypt shall depart.
And athey shall walk up and down in His name,”
Says the Lord.
