Zechariah
Zechariah 10:8–10
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.
