38:009:016 And the lord their God shall save
them in that day as the
flock
of his people: for they shall be as the stones
of a
crown,
lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
38:009:017 For how great is his goodness, and how
great is his beauty!
corn
shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the
maids.
38:010:001 Ask ye of the lord rain in the time
of the latter rain; so the
lord
shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of
rain,
to
every one grass in the field.
38:010:002 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the
diviners have seen a
lie,
and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain:
therefore
they went their way as a flock, they were troubled,
because
there was no shepherd.
38:010:003 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds,
and I punished
the
goats: for the lord of hosts hath visited
his flock the
house
of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in
the
battle.
38:010:004 Out of him came forth the corner, out of
him the nail, out of
him
the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
38:010:005 And they shall be as mighty men, which
tread down their
enemies
in the mire of the streets in the battle: and
they
shall
fight, because the lord is with them, and the
riders on
horses
shall be confounded.
38:010:006 And I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the
house
of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them;
for
I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though
I had
not
cast them off: for I am the lord their God,
and will hear
them.
38:010:007 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty
man, and their
heart
shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children
shall
see
it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the lord.
38:010:008 I will hiss for them, and gather them;
for I have redeemed
them:
and they shall increase as they have increased.
38:010:009 And I will sow them among the people:
and they shall remember
me
in far countries; and they shall live with their children,
and
turn again.
38:010:010 I will bring them again also out of the
land of Egypt, and
gather
them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the
land
of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found
for
them.
38:010:011 And he shall pass through the sea with
affliction, and shall
smite
the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river
shall
dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought
down,
and
the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
