13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(A)
Judah’s harassing 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.(B)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(C)
15 The Lord will divide[a][b] the Gulf of Suez.[c]
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates
with his mighty wind(D)
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
