4From him will come the keystone, from him the nail, from him the bow of war, from him will come every ruler;
5Together they will be like men of war, crushing down their haters into the earth of the streets in the fight; they will make war because the Lord is with them: and the horsemen will be shamed.
6And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer.
7And Ephraim will be like a man of war, and their hearts will be glad as with wine; and their children will see it with joy; their hearts will be glad in the Lord.
8With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased.
9Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back.
10And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them.
