¹⁸ “In those days ^(A)the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of ^(B)the north to ^(C)the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.

¹⁶ “As for you, son of man, ^(A)take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for ^(B)the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’

¹⁷ Then ^(A)join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.

²² and ^(A)I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(B)one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
