Isaiah

Isaiah 11:15–16

¹⁵The LORD will devote to destruction^h

the gulfⁱ of the Sea of Egypt;

with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand

over the Euphrates.^j

He will split it into seven streams

for men to cross with dry sandals.

¹⁶There will be a highway for the remnant of His people

who remain from Assyria,

as there was for Israel

when they came up from the land of Egypt.
