4. From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5. And they shall be as mighty men, treading down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them; and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6. And 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 upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will hear them.
7. And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine; yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be glad in Jehovah.
8. I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased.
9. And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
