Isaiah 11:11-16

The Shoot from Jesse, the Spirit-Filled King, and the Restored Remnant

The chapter moves from the shoot arising from Jesse’s stump, to the Spirit resting upon him, to his righteous judgment, to the defeat of wickedness, to peaceable creation, to the earth filled with the knowledge of the LORD, to the nations seeking the root of Jesse, and finally to the gathered remnant returning in a second-exodus pattern.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands 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 will depart, and the adversaries 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 the gulf of the Sea of Egypt; with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand over the Euphrates. 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.
