Zechariah 10:6–10

“I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and I will save the house of Joseph.

I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,

and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.

Then Ephraim shall become like a mighty warrior,

and their hearts shall be glad as with wine.

Their children shall see it and be glad;

their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord.

“I will whistle for them and gather them in,

for I have redeemed them,

and they shall be as many as they were before.

Though I scattered them among the nations,

yet in far countries they shall remember me,

and with their children they shall live and return.

I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,

and gather them from Assyria,

and I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,

till there is no room for them.

“I will strengthen Judah

and save the tribes of Joseph.

I will restore them

because I have compassion on them.

They will be as though

I had not rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God

and I will answer them.

The Ephraimites will become like warriors,

and their hearts will be glad as with wine.

Their children will see it and be joyful;

their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.

I will signal for them

and gather them in.

Surely I will redeem them;

they will be as numerous as before.

Though I scatter them among the peoples,

yet in distant lands they will remember me.

They and their children will survive,

and they will return.

I will bring them back from Egypt

and gather them from Assyria.

I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon,

and there will not be room enough for them.

I will strengthen the house of Judah

and deliver the house of Joseph.

I will restore them

because I have compassion on them,

and they will be

as though I had never rejected them.

For I am the Lord their God,

and I will answer them.

Ephraim will be like a warrior,

and their hearts will be glad as if with wine.

Their children will see it and be glad;

their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.

I will whistle and gather them

because I have redeemed them;

they will be as numerous as they once were.

Though I sow them among the nations,

they will remember me in the distant lands;

they and their children will live and return.

I will bring them back from the land of Egypt

and gather them from Assyria.

I will bring them to the land of Gilead

and to Lebanon,

but it will not be enough for them.

“I will strengthen Judah and save Israel;

I will restore them because of my compassion.

It will be as though I had never rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God, who will hear their cries.

The people of Israel will become like mighty warriors,

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.

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.

Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations,

they will still remember me in distant lands.

They and their children will survive

and return again to Israel.

I will bring them back from Egypt

and gather them from Assyria.

I will resettle them in Gilead and Lebanon

until there is no more room for them all.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and the house of Joseph I will save.

And I will bring them back, because I have compassion on them,

and they will be as if I had not rejected them,

for I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.

And the people of Ephraim will be like a warrior,

and their heart will be glad as with wine.

And their children will see and rejoice;

their heart will shout in exultation in Yahweh.

I will whistle to them and gather them,

for I have redeemed them,

and they will become numerous as they have been numerous before.

Though I sow them among the nations,

in the distant places they will remember me,

and they will stay alive with their children, and they will return.

And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt,

and from Assyria I will gather them.

To the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them,

until no room will be found for them there.

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.

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.

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

And they shall increase as they have increased.

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.

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,

And gather them out of Assyria;

And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon;

And place shall not be found for them.
