Isaiah 11:10-16
New American Standard Bible
10 Then on that day
The (A)nations will resort to the (B)root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a (C)signal flag for the peoples;
And His (D)resting place will be [a]glorious.
The Restored Remnant
11 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
Will again recover with His hand the second time
The (E)remnant of His people who will remain,
From (F)Assyria, (G)Egypt, Pathros, Cush, (H)Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the [b](I)islands of the sea.
12 And He will lift up a (J)flag for the nations
And (K)assemble the banished ones of Israel,
And will gather the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13 Then the (L)jealousy of Ephraim will depart,
And those who harass Judah will be eliminated;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
And Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 They will (M)swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the (N)west;
Together they will (O)plunder the [c]people of the east;
[d]They will possess (P)Edom and (Q)Moab,
And the sons of Ammon will be [e]subject to them.
15 And the Lord will [f](R)utterly destroy
The tongue of the [g]Sea of Egypt;
And He will (S)wave His hand over the (T)Euphrates River
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make people walk over in dry sandals.
16 And there will be a (U)highway from Assyria
For the (V)remnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
On (W)the day that they came up out of 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)
