ZECHARIAH
- And they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine;
- And they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
- And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people:
- For they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
- For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!
- Corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
- Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain;
- So the Lord shall make bright clouds,
- And give them showers of rain,
- To every one grass in the field.
- For the idols have spoken vanity,
- And the diviners have seen a lie,
- And have told false dreams;
- They comfort in vain:
- Therefore they went their way as a flock,
- They were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
- Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds,
- And I punished the goats:
- For the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah,
- And hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
[ 1207 ]
