12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will [a]assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together (A)the dispersed of Judah
From the four [b]corners of the earth.
13 Also (B)the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the [c]people of the East;
(C)They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
