Isaiah 11:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹At that time the Lord will reach out his hand. He will gather his people a second time. He will bring back those who are left alive. He’ll bring them back from Assyria, Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt and Cush. He’ll bring them from Elam, Babylon and Hamath. He will also bring them from the islands of the Mediterranean Sea.

¹²He will lift up a banner.
    It will show the nations that he is gathering the people of Israel.
    He’ll bring back those who had been taken away as prisoners.
He’ll gather together the scattered people of Judah.
    He’ll bring them back from all four directions.
¹³Ephraim’s people won’t be jealous anymore.
    Judah’s attackers will be destroyed.
Ephraim won’t be jealous of Judah.
    And Judah won’t attack Ephraim.
