Israel is Reclaimed and Reunited
11:10 At that time26 a root from Jesse27 will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance,28 and his residence will be majestic. 11:11 At that time29 the sovereign master30 will again lift his hand31 to reclaim32 the remnant of his people33 from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros,34 Cush,35 Elam, Shinar,36 Hamath, and the seacoasts.37
11:12 He will lift a signal flag for the nations;
he will gather Israel’s dispersed people38
and assemble Judah’s scattered people
from the four corners of the earth.
11:13 Ephraim’s jealousy will end,39
and Judah’s hostility40 will be eliminated.
Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah,
and Judah will no longer be hostile toward Ephraim.
11:14 They will swoop down41 on the Philistine hills to the west;42
together they will loot the people of the east.
They will take over Edom and Moab,43
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.
11:15 The Lord will divide44 the gulf45 of the Egyptian Sea;46
he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River47 and send a strong wind,48
he will turn it into seven dried-up streams,49
and enable them to walk across in their sandals.
11:16 There will be a highway leading out of Assyria
for the remnant of his people,50
just as there was for Israel,
when51 they went up from the land of Egypt.
12:1 At that time1 you will say:
“I praise you, O Lord,
for even though you were angry with me,
your anger subsided, and you consoled me.
12:2 Look, God is my deliverer!2
I will trust in him3 and not fear.
For the Lord gives me strength and protects me;4
he has become my deliverer.”5
12:3 Joyfully you will draw water
from the springs of deliverance.6
12:4 At that time7 you will say:
“Praise the Lord!
Ask him for help!8
Publicize his mighty acts among the nations!
Make it known that he is unique!9
12:5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done magnificent things,
let this be known10 throughout the earth!
