當春雨的時候，你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨。他必為眾人降下甘霖，使田園生長菜蔬。
Ask rain from the LORD in the season of the spring rain, from the LORD who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.
當春雨的時候，你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨。他必為眾人降下甘霖，使田園生長菜蔬。

因為，家神所言的是虛空；卜士所見的是虛假；做夢者所說的是假夢。他們白白地安慰人，所以眾人如羊流離，因無牧人就受苦。
For the household gods utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; they tell false dreams and give empty consolation. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
我的怒氣向牧人發作；我必懲罰公山羊；因我──萬軍之耶和華眷顧自己的羊群，就是
“My anger is hot against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the LORD of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his majestic steed in battle.
房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓，和一切掌權的都從他而出。
From him shall come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler — all of them together.
他們必如勇士在陣上將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中。他們必爭戰，因為耶和華與他們同在；騎馬的也必羞愧。
They shall be like mighty men in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets; they shall fight because the LORD is with them, and they shall put to shame the riders on horses.
我要堅固
“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back because I have compassion on them, and they shall be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.
Then Ephraim shall become like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall be glad as with wine. Their children shall see it and be glad; their hearts shall rejoice in the LORD.
我要發嘶聲，聚集他們，因我已經救贖他們。他們的人數必加增，如從前加增一樣。
“I will whistle for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as they were before.
我雖然〔或作「必」〕播散他們在列國中，他們必在遠方記念我。他們與兒女都必存活，且得歸回。
Though I scattered them among the nations, yet in far countries they shall remember me, and with their children they shall live and return.
我必再領他們出
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria, and I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon, till there is no room for them.
耶和華必經過苦海，擊打海浪，使
He shall pass through the sea of troubles and strike down the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up. The pride of Assyria shall be laid low, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
我必使他們倚靠我，得以堅固；一舉一動必奉我的名。這是耶和華說的。
I will make them strong in the LORD, and they shall walk in his name,” declares the LORD.
