Berean Standard Bible
Ask ye
of
Jehovah
rain in the time
of
the latter
rain
, `even
of'
Jehovah
that
maketh
lightnings;
and he will give them
showers of rain ,
to
every
one
grass
in the field.
Ask the
LORD
for
rain in springtime;
the LORD
makes
the storm
clouds
, and He will give everyone
showers of rain and
crops
in the field.
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
afflicted,
because
there
is
no
shepherd.
For idols
speak
deceit
and diviners see
illusions
; they tell
false dreams and
offer
empty
comfort .
Therefore the
people
wander
like sheep, oppressed
for
lack
of
a
shepherd.
Mine
anger is
kindled
against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats;
for Jehovah
of hosts hath
visited
his flock, the house of Judah ,
and
will make them as
his goodly
horse
in the
battle.
“My
anger burns
against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders.
For the
LORD
of Hosts attends
to
His flock, the house of Judah ;
He
will make them like
His royal
steed
in battle.
From
him
shall
come
forth
the corner-stone,
from him
the
nail
, from him the battle bow ,
from
him
every ruler together.
The cornerstone
will
come
from Judah
, the
tent
peg
from him ,
as
well
as
the battle bow and
every ruler together.
And
they shall
be as
mighty men, treading
down
`their
enemies'
in the mire of the streets in
the
battle;
and
they shall
fight ,
because Jehovah
is with them ;
and the riders
on
horses
shall
be
confounded
.
They will
be like
mighty men in
battle
, trampling
the
enemy
in the mire of the streets .
They will
fight because the
LORD
is with them ,
and they
will
put
the horsemen
to
shame
.
And
I will strengthen the house of Judah ,
and I
will
save the house of Joseph ,
and
I will bring
them back;
for
I have mercy
upon
them ;
and they shall
be as though I had not cast
them off:
for I am Jehovah
their God, and I will hear
them.
I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph .
I will restore
them because
I have compassion
on
them ,
and they will
be as though I had not rejected
them .
For I am the
LORD
their God, and I will answer
them.
And
`they
of'
Ephraim shall
be like a mighty man, and their heart
shall
rejoice
as through
wine ;
yea,
their children shall
see it ,
and rejoice
; their heart
shall
be
glad
in Jehovah
.
Ephraim will
be like a mighty man, and their hearts
will
be
glad
as with
wine .
Their children will
see it and be
joyful
; their hearts
will
rejoice
in the
LORD
.
I will hiss
for them ,
and
gather them;
for I have redeemed them; and they shall
increase
as they have
increased
.
I will whistle
for them to
gather ,
for I have redeemed them; and they will
be
as numerous
as
they once
were
.
And
I will
sow them among the peoples;
and
they shall
remember me in far
countries
; and
they shall
live
with
their children ,
and shall
return.
Though
I sow them among the nations,
they will
remember Me in distant
lands
; they and
their children will
live
and return.
I will bring them again
also
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt ,
and gather them out
of
Assyria ;
and
I will bring them into
the
land
of
Gilead and Lebanon ;
and
`place'
shall
not
be
found for them.
I will bring them back
from
Egypt and gather them from
Assyria .
I will bring them to
Gilead and Lebanon until
no
more
room
is
found for them.
And
he
will pass through the sea of affliction,
and will
smite
the waves in
the sea ,
and
all the depths of the Nile shall
dry up ;
and
the pride of Assyria shall
be brought down, and the sceptre
of Egypt shall
depart.
They
will pass through the sea of distress
and strike
the waves of
the sea ;
all the depths of the Nile will
dry up .
The pride of Assyria will
be brought down, and the scepter
of Egypt will
depart.
And
I will strengthen them in Jehovah;
and
they
shall
walk
up
and down
in his name, saith
Jehovah
.
I will strengthen them in the
LORD,
and in His name they
will
walk
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
