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!

12:6 Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion,

for the Holy One of Israel11 acts mightily12 among you!”
