¶ The .v. Chapter.
¶ The people is moued to require the doctryne of trueth
of the Lorde. The Lorde promyseth to vpset and conforte
the house of Israel.
-- --
A Praye the Lorde then by tymes to
geue you þe; latter rayne, note so shal the
Lorde make bright cloudes, &abar;d geue
you rayne ynough for all the increase of the
felde. For vayne is the answere of Idols.
The sothsayers se lyes, and tell but vayne
dreames: the conforte that they geue, is nothyng
worth. Therfore, go they astraye lyke
a flocke of shepe, and are troubled, because
they haue no note shepherde. My wroth full
displeasure is moued at the shepherdes, ∧ I
will vyset the goates.
B For the Lorde of hostes
will graciously viset his flock, the house
of Iuda, and holde them as a goodly fayre
horse in the batel. Out of note Iuda shal come
the helmet note the nayle the batelbowe, &abar;d
all the princes together. They shalbe as þe;
gyauntes, which in the batell treade downe
the myre vpon the stretes. They shal fyght
for the Lorde shalbe wyth them, so that the
horsmen shalbe confounded.
C I wyll comforte the house of Iuda, and
preserue the house of Ioseph. I wyll turne
them also, for I pitie them: and they shal be
lyke as they were, when I had not cast th&ebar;
of. For I the Lorde am their God, &abar;d wyll
heare th&ebar;. Ephraim shalbe as a gyaunt, &abar;d
their hert shalbe chereful as thorow wyne:
yee, their children shall se it, and be glad, &abar;d
their hert shall reioyce in the Lorde. I wyll
blowe for them and gather them together,
for I wyll redeme them. They shall increace,
as they increased afore. I wyll sowe th&ebar;
amonge the people, that they may thyncke
vpon me in farre countrees: they shall lyue
with their children, ∧ turne agayne. I wyll
brynge them agayne also from the lande of
Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria.
D I
wyll carye them into the lande of Galaad ∧
to Libanus and they shal wante nothinge.
He shall go vpon the see of trouble, ∧ smyte
the see waues: so that all the depe floudes
shalbe dryed vp. The proude boastynge of
Assur shalbe cast downe, and the sceptre of
note Egypte shall be taken awaye. I wyll c&obar;forte
th&ebar; in the Lorde, that they maye walke
in his name, sayeth the Lorde.
