Isaiah 11:10-16
Christian Standard Bible
Israel Regathered
10 On that day the root of Jesse(A)
will stand as a banner for the peoples.(B)
The nations will look to him for guidance,(C)
and his resting place will be glorious.(D)
11 On that day(E) the Lord will extend his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people who survive—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west.(F)
12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;(G)
he will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(H)
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(I)
Judah’s harassing will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 But they will swoop down
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.(J)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(K)
15 The Lord will divide[a][b] the Gulf of Suez.[c]
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates
with his mighty wind(L)
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people
who will survive from Assyria,(M)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(N)
Isaiah 11:10-16
International Standard Version
Israel Regathered
10 At that time,[a] as to[b] the root of Jesse, who will be standing as a banner for the peoples, the nations will rally to him, and his resting place is[c] glorious.
11 At that time,[d] the Lord will reach out his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,[e] from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands[f] of the sea.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations
and will assemble the dispersed of Israel;
he will gather the scattered people of Judah
from the corners[g] of the earth.
Israel’s Victory over Its Enemies
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,[h]
and those who are hostile to Judah will be eliminated;[i]
Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah,
and Judah will not be hostile to Ephraim.
14 But they[j] will swoop down
on the slopes[k] of the Philistines to the west,
and they will plunder[l] the people to[m] the east.
They’ll lay their hands on Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
15 The Lord will totally destroy
the gulf[n] of the Sea of Egypt.
He will sweep his hand
over the Euphrates River
with a violent wind,[o]
breaking it up into seven streams,
and making a way for people to cross on foot.
16 And there will be a highway
for the remnant that is left of his people out of Assyria,
as there was for Israel
when they came up
from the land of Egypt.
