Zechariah 10

Tree of Life Version

³ My anger burns against the shepherds
        and I will punish the leaders.^[b]
    Adonai-Tzva’ot cares for His flock,
        the house of Judah.
    He will make them His valiant steed in battle.
⁴ From Judah will come the cornerstone,^[c]
        from him the tent peg,
        from him the battle bow
        and from him every leader together.
⁵ They will be like mighty men
        treading down muddy streets in war.
        They will fight, because Adonai is with them
        and will put horsemen to shame.
⁶ I will strengthen the house of Judah
        and save the house of Joseph.
    I will bring them back,
        for I have compassion on them.
    They will be as though
        I had never spurned them,
    for I am Adonai their God
        and I will answer them!
⁷ The Ephraimites will be like a warrior.
    Their hearts will be glad as with wine.
    Their children will see and be glad.
    Their hearts will rejoice in Adonai.
⁸ I will signal for them and gather them.
    Surely I will redeem them
    and they will be as numerous as before.
⁹ Though I scatter them among the peoples,
    they will remember Me in distant places.
    They and their children will survive and return.
¹⁰ I will restore from the land of Egypt
        and gather them from Assyria.
    I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon
        till there is no room for them.
¹¹ He will cross the turbulent sea
        and calm its raging waves.
    All the depths of the Nile will dry up,
        the pride of Assyria brought down,
        the scepter of Egypt removed.
¹² So I will strengthen them in Adonai
        and they will walk in His Name.
It is a declaration of Adonai.
