A Remnant Remains

10 Then it will be in that day,
That the (A)nations will seek the (B)root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a [a](C)standard for the peoples;
And His (D)resting place will be [b]glorious.

11 Then it will be in that day, that the Lord
Will again acquire the second time with His hand
The (E)remnant of His people, who will remain,
From (F)Assyria, (G)Egypt, Pathros, [c]Ethiopia, (H)Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the (I)coastlands of the sea.
12 And He will lift up a (J)standard for the nations
And (K)assemble the banished ones of Israel,
And will gather the scattered of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13 Then the (L)jealousy of Ephraim will depart,
And those who assail Judah will be cut off;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
And Judah will not assail Ephraim.
14 And they will (M)swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the (N)west;
Together they will (O)plunder the sons of the east;
[d]They will stretch out their hands over (P)Edom and (Q)Moab,
And the sons of Ammon [e]will obey them.
15 And Yahweh will (R)devote to destruction
The tongue of the [f]Sea of Egypt;
And He will (S)wave His hand over the [g](T)River
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make men walk over [h]dry-shod.
16 And there will be a (U)highway from Assyria
For the (V)remnant of His people who will remain,
Just as there was for Israel
In (W)the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

Return of the Remnant of Israel and Judah

10 On that day the root of Jesse shall stand as a signal to the peoples; the nations shall inquire of him, and his dwelling shall be glorious.(A)

11 On that day the Lord will again raise[a] his hand to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.(B)

12 He will raise a signal for the nations
    and will assemble the outcasts of Israel
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.(C)
13 The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart;
    the hostility of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not be hostile toward Ephraim.(D)
14 But they shall swoop down on the backs of the Philistines in the west;
    together they shall plunder the people of the east.
They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab,
    and the Ammonites shall obey them.(E)
15 And the Lord will dry up[b]
    the tongue of the sea of Egypt
and will wave his hand over the River
    with his scorching wind
and will split it into seven channels
    and make a way to cross on foot;(F)
16 so there shall be a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that is left of his people,
as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.(G)
