Zechariah 10:4-12
Christian Standard Bible
4 The cornerstone,(A) the tent peg,(B)
the battle bow,(C) and every ruler—
all will go out from him together.
5 They will be like warriors in battle
trampling down the mud of the streets.
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
and they will put horsemen to shame.
6 I will strengthen the house of Judah
and deliver the house of Joseph.[a]
I will restore[b] them
because I have compassion on them,
and they will be
as though I had never rejected them.(D)
For I am the Lord their God,
and I will answer them.
7 Ephraim(E) will be like a warrior,
and their hearts will be glad as if with wine.
Their children will see it and be glad;(F)
their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.
8 I will whistle(G) and gather them
because I have redeemed(H) them;
they will be as numerous as they once were.
9 Though I sow(I) them among the nations,
they will remember(J) me in the distant lands;
they and their children will live and return.
10 I will bring them back from the land of Egypt
and gather them from Assyria.
I will bring them to the land of Gilead(K)
and to Lebanon,
but it will not be enough for them.
11 The Lord[c] will pass through the sea of distress
and strike the waves of the sea;
all the depths of the Nile will dry up.(L)
The pride of Assyria will be brought down,
and the scepter of Egypt will come to an end.
12 I will strengthen(M) them in the Lord,
and they will march(N) in his name—
this is the Lord’s declaration.

Together 5 they will be like warriors in battle
trampling down the mud of the streets.
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
and they will put horsemen to shame.
6 I will strengthen the house of Judah
and deliver the house of Joseph.[c]
I will restore[d] them
because I have compassion on them,
and they will be
as though I had never rejected them.(D)
For I am Yahweh their God,
and I will answer them.
7 Ephraim(E) will be like a warrior,
and their hearts will be glad as if with wine.
Their children will see it and be glad;(F)
their hearts will rejoice in Yahweh.
8 I will whistle(G) and gather them
because I have redeemed(H) them;
they will be as numerous as they once were.
