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.
11 He will pass through the sea of affliction,and will strike the waves in the sea,and all the depths of the Nile will dry up;and the pride of Assyria will be brought down,and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 I will strengthen them in the Lord;and they will walk up and down in his name,” says the Lord.
