Isaiah 11:11–12:6

11 In that dayg the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnanth of his people from Assyria,i from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,j from Cush,b k from Elam,l from Babylonia,c from Hamathm and from the islandsn of the Mediterranean.o

12 He will raise a bannerp for the nations

and gatherq the exiles of Israel;r

he will assemble the scattered peoples of Judah

from the four quarters of the earth.t

13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,

and Judah’s enemiesd will be destroyed;

Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,

nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.u

14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistiav to the west;

together they will plunder the people to the east.w

They will subdue Edomx and Moab,y

and the Ammonitesz will be subject to them.a

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
