Isaiah 11:11-16

English Standard Version

¹¹^(A)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, ^(B)from Assyria, ^(C)from Egypt, from ^(D)Pathros, from ^(E)Cush,^[a] from ^(F)Elam, from ^(G)Shinar, from ^(H)Hamath, and from ^(I)the coastlands of the sea.

¹²He will raise ^(J)a signal for the nations
    and will assemble ^(K)the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.
¹³^(L)The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
    and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
¹⁴^(M)But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
    and together they shall plunder ^(N)the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand ^(O)against ^(P)Edom and ^(Q)Moab,
    and ^(R)the Ammonites shall obey them.
¹⁵And the Lord will utterly destroy^[b]
    ^(S)the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over ^(T)the River^[c]
    with his scorching breath,^[d]
and strike it into seven channels,
    and he will lead people across in sandals.
¹⁶And there will be ^(U)a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that remains of his people,
^(V)as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Philippians 1:21-26

English Standard Version

²¹For to me ^(A)to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²²If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. ²³^(B)I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is ^(C)to depart and ^(D)be with Christ, for that is far better. ²⁴But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. ²⁵^(E)Convinced of this, ^(F)I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your ^(G)progress and ^(H)joy in the faith, ²⁶so that in me ^(I)you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
