1Ask the LORD for rain at the time of the spring rain, the LORD who makes the storm-clouds, and he will give the heavy rains and grass in the fields for everyone;
2for the household gods utter empty promises; diviners see false signs, they produce lies as dreams, and the comfort they offer is illusory. So the people are left to wander about like sheep in distress for lack of a shepherd.
3My anger burns against the shepherds, and I shall punish the leaders of the flock. The LORD of Hosts will care for his flock, the people of Judah, and transform them into his royal war-horses.
4From Judah will come corner-stone and tent-peg, the bow ready for battle, and all the commanders.
5Together they will be like warriors trampling the muddy tracks of the battlefield; they will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put to rout even those on horseback.
6I shall give triumph to the house of Judah and victory to the house of Joseph; I shall restore them in my compassion for them, and they will be as though I had never cast them off; for I am the LORD their God and I shall answer them.
7So the Ephraimites will be like warriors, with hearts gladdened as if by wine; their children will see and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
8I shall whistle to call them in, for I have delivered them, and they will be as many as they used to be.
9Though dispersed among the nations, yet in far-off lands they will remember me; they will rear their children and return.
10I shall bring them home from Egypt and gather them from Assyria; I shall lead them into Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room for them.
11They will pass through the sea of Egypt and strike its waves; all the depths of the Nile will become dry. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt will be no more.
12But Israel's strength will be in the LORD; they will march proudly in his name. This is the word of the LORD.
