Context of Zechariah 10:7

5They will be like warriors in battle trampling down the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put horsemen to shame. 6I will strengthen the house of Judah and deliver the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had never rejected them. For I am the Lord their God, and I will answer them. Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their hearts will be glad as if with wine. Their children will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in the Lord. 8I will whistle and gather them because I have redeemed them; they will be as numerous as they once were. 9Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember me in the distant lands; they and their children will live and return.
