Isaiah 11:10-16
New International Version
Isaiah 11:10-16
New International Version
10 In that day(A) the Root of Jesse(B) will stand as a banner(C) for the peoples; the nations(D) will rally to him,(E) and his resting place(F) will be glorious.(G) 11 In that day(H) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(I) of his people from Assyria,(J) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(K) from Cush,[a](L) from Elam,(M) from Babylonia,[b] from Hamath(N) and from the islands(O) of the Mediterranean.(P)
12 He will raise a banner(Q) for the nations
and gather(R) the exiles of Israel;(S)
he will assemble the scattered people(T) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(U)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[c] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(V)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(W) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(X)
They will subdue Edom(Y) and Moab,(Z)
and the Ammonites(AA) will be subject to them.(AB)
15 The Lord will dry up(AC)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(AD) he will sweep his hand(AE)
over the Euphrates River.(AF)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(AG)
16 There will be a highway(AH) for the remnant(AI) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(AJ)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(AK)

Isaiah 11:10-16
New Living Translation
Isaiah 11:10-16
New Living Translation
10 In that day the heir to David’s throne[a]
will be a banner of salvation to all the world.
The nations will rally to him,
and the land where he lives will be a glorious place.[b]
11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time
to bring back the remnant of his people—
those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt;
in southern Egypt, Ethiopia,[c] and Elam;
in Babylonia,[d] Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
12 He will raise a flag among the nations
and assemble the exiles of Israel.
He will gather the scattered people of Judah
from the ends of the earth.
13 Then at last the jealousy between Israel[e] and Judah will end.
They will not be rivals anymore.
14 They will join forces to swoop down on Philistia to the west.
Together they will attack and plunder the nations to the east.
They will occupy the lands of Edom and Moab,
and Ammon will obey them.
15 The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.[f]
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,[g]
sending a mighty wind to divide it into seven streams
so it can easily be crossed on foot.
16 He will make a highway for the remnant of his people,
the remnant coming from Assyria,
just as he did for Israel long ago
when they returned from Egypt.
