Zechariah 10
Zechariah chapter 10 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Whether ther is yit anentis thee? And he schal answer, An ende is. And he schal seie to hym, Be thou stille, and thenke thou not on the name of the Lord. 2 For lo! the Lord schal comaunde, and schal smyte the grettere hous with fallyngis, and the lesse hous with brekyngis. 3 Whether horsis moun renne in stoonys, ether it mai be eerid with wielde oxun? For ye turneden doom in to bitternesse, and the fruyt of riytfulnesse in to wermod. 4 And ye ben glad in nouyt, and ye seien, Whether not in oure strengthe we token to vs hornes? 5 Lo! Y schal reise on you, the hous of Israel, seith the Lord God of oostis, a folc; and it schal al to-breke you fro entre of Emath `til to the streem of desert. 7 The Lord God schewide these thingis to me; and lo! a makere of locust in bigynnyng of buriownynge thingis of euentid reyn, and lo! euentid reyn after the clippere of the kyng. 8 And it was don, whanne he hadde endid for to ete the erbe of erthe, Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, be thou merciful; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil? 9 The Lord hadde merci on this thing; It schal not be, seide the Lord God. 10 The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! the Lord God schal clepe doom to fier, and it schal deuoure myche depthe of watir, and it eet togidere a part. 11 And Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, reste thou; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil? 12 The Lord hadde merci on this thing; But and this thing schal not be, seide the Lord God.
