Zechariah 10:6–12

⁶I will strengthen the house of Judah

and save the house of Joseph.

I will restore them because I have 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.

⁷Ephraim will be like a mighty man,

and their hearts will be glad as with wine.

Their children will see it and be joyful;

their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.

⁸I will whistle for them to gather,

for I have redeemed them;

and they will be as numerous

as they once were.

⁹Though I sow them among the nations,

they will remember Me in distant lands;

they and their children

will live and return.

¹⁰I will bring them back from Egypt

and gather them from Assyria.

I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon

until no more room is found for them.

¹¹They will pass through the sea of distress

and strike the waves of the sea;

all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

The pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

¹²I will strengthen them in the LORD,

and in His name they will walk,”

declares the LORD.
