Isaiah 11:15–12:6

15 The Lord will dry upb

the gulf of the Egyptian sea;

with a scorching windc he will sweep his handd

over the Euphrates River.e

He will break it up into seven streams

so that anyone can cross over in sandals.f

16 There will be a highwayg for the remnanth of his people

that is left from Assyria,i

as there was for Israel

when they came up from Egypt.j
