14 But they will join forces against those who threaten them,
    swooping down on the slopes of Philistia in the west,
Plundering and prevailing over the nations in the east who oppressed them:
    Edom, Moab, and Ammon.
15 And the Eternal will make it easy,
    so easy for God’s people to return from Egypt and Assyria.
He will create a swath of dry land through the gulf of Egypt’s sea;
    with a wave of His hand, He will blow a scorching wind
Over the Euphrates—breaking it up into seven streams—
    so the people can cross it in their sandals.
16 He will build a highway for the remnant of His people as they leave Assyria behind,
    just as He did for the Israelites when they left the land of Egypt.[a]
