Zechariah 10:1-3
Revised Standard Version
Zechariah 10:1-3
Revised Standard Version
Restoration of Judah and Israel
10 Ask rain from the Lord
in the season of the spring rain,
from the Lord who makes the storm clouds,
who gives men showers of rain,
to every one the vegetation in the field.
2 For the teraphim utter nonsense,
and the diviners see lies;
the dreamers tell false dreams,
and give empty consolation.
Therefore the people wander like sheep;
they are afflicted for want of a shepherd.
3 “My anger is hot against the shepherds,
and I will punish the leaders;[a]
for the Lord of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah,
and will make them like his proud steed in battle.

diviners(D) see visions that lie;
they tell dreams(E) that are false,

Therefore the people wander like sheep
oppressed for lack of a shepherd.(G)
