Zechariah 10:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ From this flock will come leaders
    who will be strong
like cornerstones and tent pegs
    and weapons of war.
⁵ They will join in the fighting,
and together they will trample
    their enemies like mud.
They will fight,
because I, the Lord,
    will be on their side.
And they will crush
    the enemy cavalry.

⁶ I will strengthen
the kingdoms of Judah
    and Israel.^[a]
And I will show mercy
because I am the Lord,
    their God.
I will answer their prayers
    and bring them home.
Then it will seem as though
    I had never rejected them.
