Zechariah 10 (WEBP)

[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.

Zechariah 10:2 teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property.

Young’s Literal Translation

Zechariah 10 (YLT)

[1] They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain, Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain in showers He doth give to them. To each-the herb in the field.
[2] Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, With vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.
[3] Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous horse in battle.
[4] From him is a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor together.
[5] And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah is with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.
[6] And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as if I had not cast them off, For I am Jehovah their God, And I answer them.
[7] And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah.
[8] I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.
[9] And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.
[10] And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them space.
[11] And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.
[12] And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
