in the season of the spring rain,

Job 13.4; Jer 27.9; Ezek 21.21; 34.5; Hos 3.4 For the teraphim#10.2 Or household gods utter nonsense,

and give empty consolation.
Therefore the people#10.2 Heb they wander like sheep;
they suffer for lack of a shepherd.

Jer 25.34–36; Ezek 34.12, 17 My anger is hot against the shepherds,

and will make them like his proud war horse.
