1 Ask of the Lord rain in the spring time,The Lord 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 the Lord of Hosts 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 nail,from him the battle bow,from him every ruler together.
5 They shall be as mighty men,treading down muddy streets in the battle;and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them;and the riders on horses will be confounded.
