Zechariah

Zechariah 10:9–12

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.
