Isaiah 11:10-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Return of the Remnant of Israel and Judah
10 On that day the root of Jesse shall stand as a signal to the peoples; the nations shall inquire of him, and his dwelling shall be glorious.(A)
11 On that day the Lord will again raise[a] his hand to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.(B)
12 He will raise a signal for the nations
and will assemble the outcasts of Israel
and gather the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(C)
13 The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart;
the hostility of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not be hostile toward Ephraim.(D)
14 But they shall swoop down on the backs of the Philistines in the west;
together they shall plunder the people of the east.
They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites shall obey them.(E)
15 And the Lord will dry up[b]
the tongue of the sea of Egypt
and will wave his hand over the River
with his scorching wind
and will split it into seven channels
and make a way to cross on foot;(F)
16 so there shall be a highway from Assyria
for the remnant that is left of his people,
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(G)
Isaiah 11:10-16

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)
