Isaiah

Isaiah 11:9–16

⁹They will neither harm nor destroy

on all My holy mountain,

for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD

as the sea is full of water.

¹⁰On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him,^b and His place of rest will be glorious. ¹¹On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush,^c from Elam, from Shinar,^d from Hamath, and from the islands^e of the sea.

¹²He will raise a banner for the nations

and gather the exiles of Israel;

He will collect the scattered of Judah

from the four corners of the earth.

¹³Then the jealousy of Ephraim^f will depart,

and the adversaries^g of Judah will be cut off.

Ephraim will no longer envy Judah,

nor will Judah harass Ephraim.

¹⁴They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west;

together they will plunder the sons of the east.

They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab,

and the Ammonites will be subject to them.

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.
