Yahweh Will Redeem Judah and Israel

10Ask ^arain from Yahweh at the time of the ¹late rain—Yahweh who ^bmakes the ²storm clouds;And He will give them ^cshowers of rain, the plant in the field to each man.²For the ^ateraphim speak wickedness,And the ^bdiviners behold ¹false visionsAnd speak ^cworthless dreams;They comfort in vain.Therefore the people journey like ^dsheep;They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.³“My ^aanger burns against the shepherds,And I will visit punishment upon the ¹male goats;For Yahweh of hosts has ^bvisited His flock, the house of Judah,And will make them like His splendid horse in battle.⁴“From ¹them will come the ^acornerstone,From ²them the tent peg,From ³them the bow of ⁴^,^bbattle,From ⁵them every good ⁶taskmaster, all of them together.⁵“And they will be as mighty men,^aTreading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;And they will battle, for Yahweh will be with them;And the ^briders on horses will be put to shame.⁶“I will ^amake the house of Judah mighty,And I will ^bsave the house of Joseph,And I will ¹^,^ccause them to return,Because I have had ^dcompassion on them;And they will be as though I had ^enot rejected them,For I am Yahweh their God, and I will ^fanswer them.⁷“And Ephraim will be like a mighty man,And their heart will be glad as if from wine;Indeed, their ^achildren will see it and be glad;¹Their heart will rejoice in Yahweh.⁸“I will ^awhistle for them to gather them together,For I have redeemed them;And they will be as ^bnumerous as they ^cwere ¹before.⁹“And I will sow them among the peoples,And they will ^aremember Me in far countries,And they with their children will live and turn back.¹⁰“Then I will cause them to ^areturn from the land of EgyptAnd gather them from Assyria;And I will bring them into the land of ^bGilead and Lebanon¹Until ^cno room can be found for them.¹¹“And ¹they will pass through the ^asea of distress,And He will strike the waves in the sea,So that all the depths of the ^bNile will dry up;And the pride of ^cAssyria will be brought down,And the scepter of ^dEgypt will depart.¹²“And I will ^amake them mighty in Yahweh,And in His name ^bthey will walk,” declares Yahweh.
