Zechariah 10:1-3

International Standard Version

The Lord’s Care for Judah

10 “Ask the Lord for rain in the spring^[a]—
    the Lord who fashions lightning thunderstorms,
giving rain showers to mankind^[b]
    along with grain in the fields.^[c]
²Truly the family idols^[d] talk nonsense
    and the diviners discern lies,
        describing delusional dreams.
Since their comfort is vacuous,
    they wander off on their own like sheep,
        because there is no shepherd.

³“Against the shepherds my anger rises—
I am punishing the leaders^[e] also,
because the Lord of the Heavenly Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah,
appointing them as his royal war horse for battle.
