Isaiah 11:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 On that day(A) 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.(B)
12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;(C)
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(D)
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(E)
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.(F)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(G)
15 The Lord will divide[a][b] the Gulf of Suez.[c]
He will wave His hand over the Euphrates
with His mighty wind(H)
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,(I)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(J)

Isaiah 19:16-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Egypt Will Know the Lord
16 On that day Egypt will be like women. She will tremble with fear because of the threatening hand of the Lord of Hosts when He raises it against her. 17 The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the Lord of Hosts has planned(A) against it.
18 On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the Lord of Hosts. One of the cities will be called the City of the Sun.[a][b]
19 On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the center of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the Lord near her border.(B) 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and leader, and he will rescue them.(C) 21 The Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the Lord on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings;(D) they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them. 22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing. Then they will return to the Lord and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
23 On that day there will be a highway(E) from Egypt to Assyria. Assyria will go to Egypt, Egypt to Assyria, and Egypt will worship with Assyria.
24 On that day Israel will form a triple alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing within the land.
