Yahweh Will Redeem Judah and Israel
Ask rain from Yahweh at the time of the late rain—
Yahweh who makes the storm clouds;
And He will give them showers of rain, the plant in the field to each man.
2 For the teraphim speak wickedness,
And the diviners behold false visions
And speak worthless dreams;
They comfort in vain.
Therefore the people journey like sheep;
They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
3 “My anger burns against the shepherds,
And I will visit punishment upon the male goats;
For Yahweh of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah,
And will make them like His splendid horse in battle.
