10 And this shall happen on that day:

the nations shall inquire of the root of Jesse,
which shall be standing as a signal to the peoples,
and his resting place shall be glorious.

The Regathered Remnant

11 And this shall happen on that day:

The Lord will again extend his hand a second time
to acquire the remnant of his people that is left,
from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coastlands of the sea,
12 and he will raise a signal for the nations.
And he will gather the outcasts of Israel,
    and he will gather the scattered ones of Judah together from the four corners[a] of the earth.
13 And the jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
    and the enemies of Judah shall be cut off.
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not be an enemy of Ephraim.
14 But they shall swoop[b] upon the Philistine shoulder,[c] westward.[d]
    Together they shall plunder the sons of the east.
Edom and Moab will be under their command,[e]
    and the sons of Ammon will be their subjugated people.
15 And Yahweh will divide[f] the tongue[g] of the sea of Egypt,[h]
    and he will wave his hand over the river[i] with his scorching wind;
and he will strike it into seven streams,
    and he will make it passable by foot.[j]
16 So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains,
    as there was for Israel when[k] it went up from the land of Egypt.
