    on all my holy mountain;
for the earth will be filled with knowledge of the Lord

10 On that day the root of Jesse
    will be established as a signal to the nations.
They will come forth to unite under him,
    and his dwelling will be glorious.

to recover the remnant of his people
    from Assyria and Egypt,
from Patmos,[a] Ethiopia, and Elam,
    from Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.
