Zechariah 10:11

AssyriaEgyptNile
Salvation

9 Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.

10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.

They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,” declares the LORD.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
