Isaiah 11:11–16

¹¹At that time the Lord will use his power again 

to recover what remains of his people 

in Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt, 

Sudan, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, 

and the islands of the sea. 

¹²He will raise a banner for the nations ⸤to gather around⸥. 

He will gather the outcasts of Israel 

and bring together the scattered people of Judah 

from the four corners of the earth. 

¹³Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish, 

and Judah’s opponents will come to an end. 

Ephraim won’t be jealous of Judah, 

and Judah won’t oppose Ephraim. 

¹⁴They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia in the west. 

Together they will loot the people of the east. 

They will conquer Edom and Moab. 

The people of Ammon will be subject to them. 

¹⁵The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea. 

He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River with his scorching wind 

and divide it into seven streams 

so that people can walk over it in their sandals. 

¹⁶There will be a highway 

for the remaining few of his people left in Assyria 

like there was for Israel when it came out of Egypt.
