Bible Chapter Summary
Zechariah 10 Summary
Restoration of Israel and Divine Strength
The Lord commands asking for rain in the time of latter rain so that fields will yield grass for every one. Idols and diviners speak vanity, leaving the flock troubled without a shepherd, so the Lord's anger burns against the shepherds and He punishes the goats. He will make the house of Judah like goodly horses in battle and bring forth rulers and warriors from them. The Lord will strengthen Judah and Joseph, save them, and gather them from Egypt and Assyria, bringing them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, then strengthen them in His name.
