Together they will be like warriors,
    trampling the mud of the streets in battle.
They will wage war because the Lord is with them,
    and will put the horsemen to shame.
I will strengthen the house of Judah,(A)
    the house of Joseph[a] I will save;
I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them;
    they will be as if I had never cast them off,
    for I am the Lord their God, and I will answer them.(B)

    and their hearts will be cheered as by wine.(C)
Their children will see and rejoice—
    their hearts will exult in the Lord.
