Judah and Israel Will Be Restored

1AskH7592 the LORDH3068 for rainH4306 in springtimeH6256 H4456; the LORDH3068 makesH6213 the storm cloudsH2385, and He will giveH5414 everyoneH376 showersH1653 of rainH4306 and cropsH6212 in the fieldH7704.2ForH3588 idolsH8655 speakH1696 deceitH205 and divinersH7080 seeH2372 illusionsH8267; they tellH1696 falseH7723 dreamsH2472 and offer emptyH1892 comfortH5162. ThereforeH5921 H3651 the people wanderH5265 likeH3644 sheepH6629, oppressedH6031 forH3588 lackH369 of a shepherdH7462.

3“My angerH639 H5921 burnsH2734 againstH5921 the shepherdsH7462,and I will punishH6485 the leadersH6260.1ForH3588 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 attends toH6485 His flockH5739 ,the houseH1004 of JudahH3063;He will makeH7760 themH853like His royalH1935 steedH5483 in battleH4421.4The cornerstoneH6438 will come from JudahH4480,the tent pegH3489 H4480 from himH4480,as well as the battleH4421 H4480 H3318 bowH7198and everyH3605 rulerH5065 togetherH3162.5They will beH1961 like mighty menH1368 in battleH4421,tramplingH947 the enemy in the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.They will fightH3898 becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 is with themH5973,and they will put the horsemenH7392 H5483 to shameH954.

6I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130.I will restore themH7725 becauseH3588 I have compassion on themH7355,and they will beH1961 as thoughH834 I had notH3808 rejected themH2186.ForH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 their GodH430,and I will answer themH6030.7EphraimH669 will beH1961 like a mighty manH1368,and their heartsH3820 will be gladH8055 asH3644 with wineH3196.Their childrenH1121 will see itH7200 and be joyfulH8055;their heartsH3820 will rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068.

8I will whistleH8319 for them to gatherH6908,forH3588 I have redeemed themH6299;and they will be as numerousH7235asH3644 they once wereH7235.9Though I sow themH2232 among the nationsH5971,they will remember MeH2142 in distant landsH4801;they and their childrenH1121will liveH2421 H854 and returnH7725.10I will bring them backH7725 fromH776 EgyptH4714and gather themH6908 from AssyriaH804.I will bringH935 themH413 to GileadH776 H1568 and LebanonH3844until noH3808 more room is foundH4672 for them.11They will passH5674 through the seaH3220 of distressH6869and strikeH5221 the wavesH1530 of the seaH3220;allH3605 the depthsH4688 of the NileH2975 will dry upH3001.The prideH1347 of AssyriaH804 will be brought downH3381,and the scepterH7626 of EgyptH4714 will departH5493.12I will strengthen themH1396 in the LORDH3068,and in His nameH8034 they will walkH1980,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
