10:9  And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children and return.

10:10  And I will bring them again 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 [place] shall not be found for them.

10:11  And he shall pass through the sea of affliction, and shall smite the billows in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

10:12  And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk in his name, saith Jehovah.
