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.

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.
