Zechariah

Zechariah 10:6–8

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.
