and their hearts will be glad as with wine.

Their children will see it and be joyful;

their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.

yet in distant lands they will remember me.

They and their children will survive,

and they will return.

6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and I will save the house of Joseph.

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah,

And I will save the house of Joseph,

And I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them:

And they shall be as though I had not cast them off:

For I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.

7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man,

And their heart shall rejoice as through wine:

Yea, their children shall see it, and be glad;

Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them:

And they shall increase as they have increased.

9 And I will sow them among the people:

And they shall remember me in far countries;

And they shall live with their children, and turn again.

and their hearts will be made happy as if by wine.

Their children, too, will see it and be glad;

their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.

8 When I whistle to them, they will come running,

for I have redeemed them.

From the few who are left,

they will grow as numerous as they were before.

they will still remember me in distant lands.

They and their children will survive

and return again to Israel.
