Zechariah 10 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

A Bright Future for Judah and Israel

1I, the Lord, am the one

who sends storm clouds

and showers of rain

to make fields produce.

So when the crops need rain,

you should pray to me.

2

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.

7Israel will be like

a tribe of warriors

celebrating with wine.

When their children see this,

they will also be happy

because of me, the Lord.

8I will give a signal

for them to come together

because I have rescued them.

And there will be as many

as ever before.

9

they will return—

10I will bring them home

from Egypt and Assyria,

then let them settle

as far as Gilead and Lebanon,

until the land overflows

with them.

11My people will go through

an ocean of troubles,

but I will overcome the waves

and dry up the deepest part

of the Nile.

Assyria's great pride

will be put down,

and the power of Egypt

will disappear.

12I'll strengthen my people

because of who I am,

and they will follow me.

I, the Lord, have spoken!
