Zechariah 10:7-9

10:7 The Ephraimites will be like warriors and will rejoice as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see it and rejoice; they will celebrate in the things of the Lord. 10:8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have already redeemed them; then they will become as numerous as they were before. 10:9 Though I scatter ¹  them among the nations, they will remember in far-off places – they and their children will sprout forth and return.

[10:9]  ¹ tn Or “sow” (so KJV, ASV). The imagery is taken from the sowing of seed by hand.
