[1] Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time,
Yahweh who makes storm clouds,
and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
[2] For the teraphimⓘ have spoken vanity,
and the diviners have seen a lie;
and they have told false dreams.
They comfort in vain.
Therefore they go their way like sheep.
They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd. [3] My anger is kindled against the shepherds,
and I will punish the male goats,
for Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah,
and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
[4] From him will come the cornerstone,
from him the tent peg,
from him the battle bow,
from him every ruler together.
[5] They will be as mighty men,
treading down muddy streets in the battle.
They will fight, because Yahweh is with them.
The riders on horses will be confounded. [6] “I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back,
for I have mercy on them.
They will be as though I had not cast them off,
for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.
[7] Ephraim will be like a mighty man,
and their heart will rejoice as through wine.
Yes, their children will see it and rejoice.
Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.
[8] I will signal for them and gather them,
for I have redeemed them.
They will increase as they were before.
[9] I will sow them among the peoples.
They will remember me in far countries.
They will live with their children and will return.
[10] I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,
and gather them out of Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon;
and there won’t be room enough for them.
[11] He will pass through the sea of affliction,
and will strike the waves in the sea,
and all the depths of the Nile will dry up;
and the pride of Assyria will be brought down,
and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
[12] I will strengthen them in Yahweh.
They will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.

King James Version
[1] Ask H7592 ye of the Lord H3068 rain H4306 in the time H6256 of the latter rain; H4456 so the Lord H3068 shall make H6213 bright§ clouds, H2385 and give H5414 them showers H1653 of rain, H4306 to every one H376 grass H6212 in the field. H7704 [2] For H3588 the idols H8655§ have spoken H1696 vanity, H205 and the diviners H7080 have seen H2372 a lie, H8267 and have told H1696 false H7723 dreams; H2472 they comfort H5162 in vain: H1892 therefore they went H5265 their way as a flock, H6629 they were troubled, H6031§ because there was no shepherd. H7462 [3] Mine anger H639 was kindled H2734 against H5921 the shepherds, H7462 and I punished H6485§ the goats: H6260 for H3588 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 hath visited H6485 H853 his flock H5739 H853 the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 and hath made H7760 them as his goodly H1935 horse H5483 in the battle. H4421 [4] Out of H4480 him came forth H3318 the corner, H6438 out of H4480 him the nail, H3489 out of H4480 him the battle H4421 bow, H7198 out of H4480 him every oppressor H5065 together. H3162 [5] And they shall be as mighty H1368 men, which tread down H947 their enemies in the mire H2916 of the streets H2351 in the battle: H4421 and they shall fight, H3898 because H3588 the Lord H3068 is with them, and the riders H7392 on horses H5483 shall be confounded. H3001§
Judah and Israel
[6] And I will strengthen H1396 the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 and I will save H3467 the house H1004 of Joseph, H3130 and I will bring them again to place H3427 them; for I have mercy H7355 upon them: and they shall be as though H834 I had H2186 not H3808 cast them off: H2186 for I am the Lord H3068 their God, H430 and will hear H6030 them. [7] And they of Ephraim H669 shall be like a mighty H1368 man, and their heart H3820 shall rejoice H8055 as through wine: H3196 yea, their children H1121 shall see H7200 it, and be glad; H8055 their heart H3820 shall rejoice H1523 in the Lord. H3068 [8] I will hiss H8319 for H3588 them, and gather H6908 them; for I have redeemed H6299 them: and they shall increase H7235 as they have increased. H7235 [9] And I will sow H2232 them among the people: H5971 and they shall remember H2142 me in far countries; H4801 and they shall live H2421 with H854 their children, H1121 and turn again. H7725 [10] I will bring them again H7725 also out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and gather H6908 them out of Assyria; H804 and I will bring H935 them into the land H776 of Gilead H1568 and Lebanon; H3844 and place shall not be found H4672 for them. [11] And he shall pass through H5674 the sea H3220 with affliction, H6869 and shall smite H5221 the waves H1530 in the sea, H3220 and all the deeps H4688 of the river H2975 shall dry up: H3001 and the pride H1347 of Assyria H804 shall be brought down, H3381 and the sceptre H7626 of Egypt H4714 shall depart away. H5493 [12] And I will strengthen H1396 them in the Lord; H3068 and they shall walk up and down H1980 in his name, H8034 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068Footnotes
