Isaiah 11:10-16
English Standard Version
10 In that day (A)the root of (B)Jesse, who shall stand as (C)a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
11 (D)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, (E)from Assyria, (F)from Egypt, from (G)Pathros, from (H)Cush,[a] from (I)Elam, from (J)Shinar, from (K)Hamath, and from (L)the coastlands of the sea.
12 He will raise (M)a signal for the nations
and will assemble (N)the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
13 (O)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 (P)But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
and together they shall plunder (Q)the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand (R)against (S)Edom and (T)Moab,
and (U)the Ammonites shall obey them.
15 And the Lord will utterly destroy[b]
(V)the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over (W)the River[c]
with his scorching breath,[d]
and strike it into seven channels,
and he will lead people across in sandals.
16 And there will be (X)a highway from Assyria
for the remnant that remains of his people,
(Y)as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Israel Regathered
10 On that day the root of Jesse(A)
will stand as a banner for the peoples.(B)
The nations will seek Him,(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—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west—the remnant of His people who survive.(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 harassment 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)
