Zechariah 10

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 10 of 14

1 Ask rain from Jehovah in the time of the latter rain. Jehovah shall make lightnings. And He gives them showers of rain, grass to each man in the field.

2 For the family idols speak iniquity, and the divining ones have seen a lie and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore they pulled up stakes like a flock; they were afflicted because there was no shepherd.

3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will call to account the he-goats. For Jehovah of Hosts has cared for His flock, the house of Judah, and made them as His splendid horse in battle.
