Isaiah 11:11-16

New International Version

¹¹In that day^(A) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant^(B) of his people from Assyria,^(C) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,^(D) from Cush,^[a]^(E) from Elam,^(F) from Babylonia,^[b] from Hamath^(G) and from the islands^(H) of the Mediterranean.^(I)

¹²He will raise a banner^(J) for the nations
    and gather^(K) the exiles of Israel;^(L)
he will assemble the scattered people^(M) of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.^(N)
¹³Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
    and Judah’s enemies^[c] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
    nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.^(O)
¹⁴They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia^(P) to the west;
    together they will plunder the people to the east.^(Q)
They will subdue Edom^(R) and Moab,^(S)
    and the Ammonites^(T) will be subject to them.^(U)
¹⁵The Lord will dry up^(V)
    the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind^(W) he will sweep his hand^(X)
    over the Euphrates River.^(Y)
He will break it up into seven streams
    so that anyone can cross over in sandals.^(Z)
¹⁶There will be a highway^(AA) for the remnant^(AB) of his people
    that is left from Assyria,^(AC)
as there was for Israel
    when they came up from Egypt.^(AD)
