clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the
field.

dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.

Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.

{10:10} 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 there won't be room enough for them.
{10:11} He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
{10:12} I will strengthen them in Yahweh; and they will walk up and down in his name," says Yahweh.
