15The Lord will dry up

the Red Sea in Egypt.

With his powerful hand he’ll send a burning wind

to sweep over the Euphrates River.

He will break it up into many streams.

Then people will be able to go across it wearing sandals.

16There was a road the people of Israel used

when they came up from Egypt.

In the same way, there will be a wide road coming out of Assyria.

It will be used by the Lord’s people who are left alive there.

the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,

and will wave his hand over the River

with his scorching breath,

And there will be a highway from Assyria

for the remnant that remains of his people,

as there was for Israel

when they came up from the land of Egypt.

that is left from Assyria,

as there was for Israel

when they came up from Egypt.

as there was for Israel

when they came up from the land of Egypt.

The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.

He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,

the remnant coming from Assyria,

just as he did for Israel long ago

when they returned from Egypt.

as there was for Israel when it went up from the land of Egypt.

And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea;

And with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river,

And shall smite it in the seven streams,

And make men go over dryshod.

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people,

Which shall be left, from Assyria;

Like as it was to Israel

In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
