Zechariah 10:9-11

Contemporary English Version

^9 (A) Although I scattered my people
in distant countries,
    they won't forget me.
Once their children are raised,^[a]
    they will return—
¹⁰ I will bring them home
from Egypt and Assyria,
    then let them settle
as far as Gilead and Lebanon,
until the land overflows
    with them.
¹¹ My people will go through
    an ocean of troubles,
but I will overcome the waves
and dry up the deepest part
    of the Nile.
Assyria's great pride
    will be put down,
and the power of Egypt
    will disappear.
