Then shall none hurt nor destroy in all the mountain of mine holiness: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as [a]the waters that cover the sea.

10 And in that day the root of Jesse, which shall stand up for a sign unto the [b]people, the nations shall seek unto it, and his [c]rest shall be glorious.

11 And in the same day shall the Lord stretch out his hand [d]again the second time, to possess the remnant of his people, (which shall be left) of Assyria, and of Egypt, and of Pathros, and of Ethiopia, and of Elam, and of Shinar, and of Hamath, and of the isles of the sea.
