the battle; and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded. 010:006 "I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them. 010:007 Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Yahweh. 010:008 I will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased. 010:009 I will sow them among the peoples; and they will remember me in far countries; and they will live with their children, and will return. 010:010 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won't be room enough for them. 010:011 He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart. 010:012 I will strengthen them in Yahweh; and they will walk up and down in his name," says Yahweh. 011:001 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars. 011:002 Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed.
