And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Together they shall plunder the1 people of the East;
aThey shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over1 the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over1 dry-shod.
Who will be left from Assyria,
bAs it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 11:15
Destroy - Shall not only divide it, as of old, but dry it up, that it may be an high - way. The sea - The Red Sea, which may well be called the Egyptian sea, both because it borders upon Egypt, and because the Egyptians were drowned in it, which is called a tongue in the Hebrew text, Joshua 15:2, Joshua 15:5, as having some resemblance with a tongue: for which reason the name of tongue hath been given by geographers to promontories of land which shoot forth into the sea, as this sea did shoot out of the main ocean into the land. Rivers - Nile. Seven streams - For which it is famous in all authors.
