No shepherd
Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make bright clouds and give showers of rain, and grass in the field to everyone. Because the idols have spoken empty words and the diviners have seen a lie. They have told false dreams and comfort in vain. So they went their way like a flock and were troubled because there was no shepherd. My anger burned against the shepherds, and I punished the goats. Because the Lord Almighty has visited his flock, the people of Judah, and has made them like his fine warhorse. Out of him came the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, and out of him every oppressor together. And they will be like fighting men, trampling the mud of the streets in battle. They will fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses will be put to shame.
Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the late rain. The Lord will make bright clouds and give them showers of rain, and grass in the field to every man. Because the household gods have spoken emptiness, and the fortune-tellers have seen a lie and told false dreams. They comfort people for nothing. So the people went off like sheep, in trouble because there was no shepherd. My anger was hot against the shepherds, and I dealt with the goats. Because the Lord Almighty has looked after his flock, the house of Judah, and made them like his fine horse in the battle. Out of him comes the cornerstone, out of him the tent peg, out of him the battle bow, out of him every ruler together. And they'll be like strong men who trample the mud of the streets in the battle. And they'll fight because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses will be shamed.
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. Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

I'll whistle for them
And I will strengthen the people of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, because I have had mercy on them. And they will be as though I had never cast them off, because I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. And Ephraim will be like a fighting man, and their heart will be glad as if with wine. Their children will see it and be glad. Their heart will rejoice in the Lord. I will whistle for them and gather them, because I have redeemed them. And they will increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the peoples, and in far countries they will remember me. And they will live with their children, and come back. I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be room enough for them. And he will pass through the sea with suffering and strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the royal staff of Egypt will pass away. And I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will walk about in his name, says the Lord.
And I'll make the house of Judah strong, and I'll save the house of Joseph. And I'll bring them back, because I've had mercy on them. And they'll be like I'd never thrown them off.

Their heart will celebrate in the Lord. I'll whistle for them and gather them, because I've bought them back. And they'll grow to be as many as they used to be. And I'll sow them among the peoples, and they'll remember me in far countries. And they'll live with their children and come back. I'll bring them back too out of the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria. And I'll bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be room enough for them. And he'll go through the sea of trouble and strike the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the Nile will dry up. And the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt will go. And I'll make them strong in the Lord, and they'll walk up and down in his name, says the Lord.
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again. I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
