Zechariah 10:5-12

Together they10:4,5 Or ruler, all of them together. / 5 They will be like warriors in battle

trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets.

They will fight because the Lord is with them,

and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

“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.

They will pass through the sea of trouble;

the surging sea will be subdued

and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

Assyria’s pride will be brought down

and Egypt’s scepter will pass away.

I will strengthen them in the Lord

and in his name they will live securely,”

declares the Lord.
