4 From him will come the cornerstone,from him the nail,from him the battle bow,from him every ruler together.
5 They shall be as mighty men,treading down muddy streets in the battle;and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them;and the riders on horses will be confounded.
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah,and I will save the house of Joseph,and I will bring them back;for I have mercy on them;and they will be as though I had not cast them off:for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.
7 Ephraim will be like a mighty man,and their heart will rejoice as through wine;yes, their children will see it, and rejoice.Their heart will be glad in the Lord.
8 I will signal for them, and gather them;for I have redeemed them;and they will increase as they have increased.
9 I will sow them among the peoples;and they will remember me in far countries;and they will live with their children, and will return.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,and gather them out of Assyria;and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon;and there won’t be room enough for them.
