Zechariah 10:12

 1 Ask for  rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain— The Lord who  makes the  storm winds; And He will give them  showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each person.  2 For the   household idols speak deception, And the  diviners see  an illusion And tell  deceitful dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like  sheep, They are wretched because there is no shepherd.  3 “My  anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the  male goats; For the Lord of armies has  visited His flock, the house of Judah, And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.  4 From  them will come the  cornerstone, From  them the tent peg, From  them the bow of  battle, From  them every tyrant, all of them together.  5 And they will be like warriors,  Trampling down the enemy in the mud of the streets in battle; And they will fight, because the Lordwill be with them; And the  riders on horses will be put to shame.  6 And I will  strengthen the house of Judah, And I will  save the house of Joseph, And I will   bring them back, Because I have had  compassion on them; And they will be as though I had  not rejected them, For I am the Lord their God and I will  answer them.  7 Ephraim will be like a warrior, And their heart will be joyful as if from wine; Indeed, their  children will see it and be joyful,  Their heart will rejoice in the Lord.  8 I will  whistle for them and gather them together, For I have redeemed them; And they will be as  numerous as they   were before.  9 When I  scatter them among the peoples, They will  remember Me in distant countries, And they with their children will live and come back.  10 I will  bring them back from the land of Egypt And gather them from Assyria; And I will bring them into the land of  Gilead and Lebanon  Until  no room can be found for them.  11 And they will pass through the  sea of distress And He will strike the waves in the sea, So that 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.  12 And I will  strengthen them in the Lord, And in His name  they will walk,” declares the Lord.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
