10 In that day xthe root of yJesse, who shall stand as za signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

11 aIn that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, bfrom Assyria, bfrom Egypt, from cPathros, from dCush,1 from eElam, from fShinar, from gHamath, and from hthe coastlands of the sea.

12  He will raise za signal for the nations

and will assemble ithe banished of Israel,

and gather the dispersed of Judah

from the four corners of the earth.

13  jThe jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,

and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;

Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,

and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

14  kBut they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,

and together they shall plunder lthe people of the east.

They shall put out their hand magainst nEdom and oMoab,

and pthe Ammonites shall obey them.

15  And the Lord will utterly destroy2

qthe tongue of the Sea of Egypt,

and will wave his hand over rthe River3

with his scorching breath,4

and strike it into seven channels,

and he will lead people across in sandals.

16  And there will be sa highway from Assyria

for the remnant that remains of his people,

tas there was for Israel

when they came up from the land of Egypt.

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

12 You1 will say uin that day:

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,

for though you were angry with me,

vyour anger turned away,

that you might comfort me.

2  “Behold, God is my salvation;

I will trust, and will not be afraid;

for wthe Lord God2 is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation.”

3 xWith joy you3 will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 yAnd you will say in that day:

z“Give thanks to the Lord,

call upon his name,

amake known his deeds among the peoples,

proclaim bthat his name is exalted.

5  c“Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;

let this be made known4 in all the earth.

6  Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,

for great din your5 midst is ethe Holy One of Israel.”
