Isaiah 11:6-12

English Standard Version

⁶^(A)The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
⁷The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
⁸The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
⁹^(B)They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all ^(C)my holy mountain;
^(D)for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰In that day ^(E)the root of ^(F)Jesse, who shall stand as ^(G)a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

¹¹^(H)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, ^(I)from Assyria, ^(J)from Egypt, from ^(K)Pathros, from ^(L)Cush,^[a] from ^(M)Elam, from ^(N)Shinar, from ^(O)Hamath, and from ^(P)the coastlands of the sea.

¹²He will raise ^(Q)a signal for the nations
    and will assemble ^(R)the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.
¹³^(S)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^(T)But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
    and together they shall plunder ^(U)the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand ^(V)against ^(W)Edom and ^(X)Moab,
    and ^(Y)the Ammonites shall obey them.
¹⁵And the Lord will utterly destroy^[b]
    ^(Z)the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over ^(AA)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 ^(AB)a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that remains of his people,
^(AC)as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

12 You^[e] will say ^(AD)in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
^(AE)your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.

²“Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for ^(AF)the Lord God^[f] is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”

³^(AG)With joy you^[g] will draw water from the wells of salvation. ⁴^(AH)And you will say in that day:

^(AI)“Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
^(AJ)make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim ^(AK)that his name is exalted.

⁵^(AL)“Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known^[h] in all the earth.
⁶Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great ^(AM)in your^[i] midst is ^(AN)the Holy One of Israel.”
