Context of Zechariah 10:7
5They will be as mighty men, Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; And they will fight, for the Lord will be with them; And the riders on horses will be put to shame. 6I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph, And I will bring them back, Because I have had compassion on them; And they will be as though I had not rejected them, For I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. Ephraim will be like a mighty man, And their heart will be glad as if from wine; Indeed, their children will see it and be glad, Their heart will rejoice in the Lord. 8I will whistle for them to gather them together, For I have redeemed them; And they will be as numerous as they were before. 9When I scatter them among the peoples, They will remember Me in far countries, And they with their children will live and come back.
