Zechariah 10

₆“I will make the people of Judah strong;

I will rescue the people of Israel.

I will have compassion on them

and bring them all back home.

They will be as though I had never rejected them.

I am the LORD their God; I will answer their prayers.

₇The people of Israel will be strong like soldiers,

happy like men who have been drinking wine.

Their descendants will remember this victory

and be glad because of what the LORD has done.

₈“I will call my people

and gather them together.

I will rescue them

and make them as numerous as they used to be.

₉Though I have scattered them among the nations,

yet in far-off places they will remember me.

They and their children will survive

and return home together.

₁₀From Egypt and Assyria I will bring them home

and settle them in their own country.

I will settle them in Gilead and Lebanon also;

the whole land will be filled with people.

₁₁When they pass through their sea of trouble,

I, the LORD, will strike the waves,

and the depths of the Nile will go dry.

Proud Assyria will be humbled,

and mighty Egypt will lose her power.

₁₂I will make my people strong;

they will worship and obey me.”
