¹⁰At that time the new king from the family of Jesse will stand as a banner for all peoples. The nations will come together around him, and the place where he lives will be filled with glory. ¹¹At that time the Lord will again reach out and take his people who are left alive in Assyria, North Egypt, South Egypt, Cush, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and all the islands of the sea.

¹²God will raise a banner as a sign for all nations,

and he will gather the people of Israel who were forced from their country.

He will gather the scattered people of Judah

from all parts of the earth.

¹³At that time Israel will not be jealous anymore,

and Judah will have no more enemies.

Israel will not be jealous of Judah,

and Judah will not hate Israel.

¹⁴But Israel and Judah will attack the Philistines on the west.

Together they will take the riches from the people of the east.

They will conquer Edom and Moab,

and the people of Ammon will be under their control.

¹⁵The Lord will dry up

the Red Sea of Egypt.

He will wave his arm over the Euphrates River

and dry it up with a scorching wind.

He will divide it into seven small rivers

so that people can walk across them with their sandals on.

¹⁶So God’s people who are left alive

will have a way to leave Assyria,

just like the time the Israelites

came out of Egypt.
