Zechariah 10:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ The people of Ephraim will become like warriors.
    Their hearts will be glad
    as if they were drinking wine.
Their children will see it
    and be filled with joy.
    I will make their hearts glad.
⁸ I will signal for my people to come,
    and I will gather them in.
I will set them free.
    There will be as many of them as before.
⁹ I have scattered them among the nations.
    But in lands far away they will remember me.
They and their children will be kept alive.
    And they will return.
