15 The Lord (A)will utterly [a]destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over [b]the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over [c]dry-shod.
16 (B)There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,
(C)As it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.
