Zechariah 10:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “I will make the family of Judah strong.
    I will save the tribes of Joseph.
I will bring them back
    because I have tender love for them.
It will be as if
    I had not sent them away.
I am the Lord their God.
    I will help them.
⁷ The people of Ephraim will become like warriors.
    Their hearts will be glad
    as if they were drinking wine.
Their children will see it
    and be filled with joy.
    I will make their hearts glad.
⁸ I will signal for my people to come,
    and I will gather them in.
I will set them free.
    There will be as many of them as before.
