And I will (A)strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will (B)save the house of Joseph,
And I will [a](C)bring them back,
Because I have had (D)compassion on them;
And they will be as though I had (E)not rejected them,
For I am the Lord their God and I will (F)answer them.
Ephraim will be like a warrior,
And their heart will be joyful as if from wine;
Indeed, their (G)children will see it and be joyful,
[b]Their heart will rejoice in the Lord.
I will (H)whistle for them and gather them together,
For I have redeemed them;
And they will be as (I)numerous as they [c](J)were before.
When I [d]scatter them among the peoples,
They will (K)remember Me in distant countries,
And they with their children will live and come back.
10 I will (L)bring them back from the land of Egypt
And gather them from Assyria;
And I will bring them into the land of (M)Gilead and Lebanon
[e]Until (N)no room can be found for them.
11 And they will pass through the (O)sea of distress
And He will strike the waves in the sea,
So that all the depths of the (P)Nile will dry up;
And the pride of (Q)Assyria will be brought down,
And the scepter of (R)Egypt will depart.
12 And I will (S)strengthen them in the Lord,
And in His name (T)they will walk,” declares the Lord.
