10 I will bring them once again out of the land of Egypt,
    gathering them from Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon,
    but there will not be enough space for them.
11 They[a] will pass through the sea of affliction,
    and they[b] will strike the waves[c] in that sea.
All of the depths of the Nile will evaporate,
    Assyria’s arrogance will be brought down low,
        and the ruling power[d] of Egypt will disappear.

12 “I will strengthen them in the Lord,
    and they will march here and there in his name,”
        declares the Lord.
