Isaiah 11:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 On that day(A) the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west—the remnant of His people who survive.(B)
12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;(C)
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(D)
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(E)
Judah’s harassment will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 But they will swoop down
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.(F)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(G)
15 The Lord will divide[a][b] the Gulf of Suez.[c]
He will wave His hand over the Euphrates
with His mighty wind(H)
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
who will survive from Assyria,(I)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(J)
