Zechariah 10:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I will strengthen
the kingdoms of Judah
    and Israel.^[a]
And I will show mercy
because I am the Lord,
    their God.
I will answer their prayers
    and bring them home.
Then it will seem as though
    I had never rejected them.
⁷ Israel^[b] will be like
a tribe of warriors
    celebrating with wine.
When their children see this,
they will also be happy
    because of me, the Lord.

⁸ I will give a signal
for them to come together
    because I have rescued them.
And there will be as many
    as ever before.
