Isaiah 11:14

Isaiah 11:14

12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will¹ assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together ^athe dispersed of Judah
From the four¹ corners of the earth.

13 Also ^athe envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
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.

15 The Lord ^awill utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
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.

16 ^aThere will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,
^bAs it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.

<< Isaiah 11:13

Isaiah 11:15 >>

With united forces they shall subdue their foes (Amos 9:12).

fly—as a bird of prey (Habakkuk 1:8).

upon the shoulders—This expresses an attack made unexpectedly on one from behind. The image is the more apt, as the Hebrew for "shoulders" in Numbers 34:11 is used also of a maritime coast ("side of the sea": Hebrew, "shoulder of the sea," Margin). They shall make a sudden victorious descent upon their borders southwest of Judea.

them of the east—Hebrew, "children of the East," the Arabs, who, always hostile, are not to be reduced under regular government, but are only to be despoiled (Jeremiah 49:28-29).

lay . . . hand upon—take possession of (Daniel 11:42).

Edom—south of Judah, from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea; "Moab"—east of Jordan and the Dead Sea.

Ammon—east of Judea, north of Moab, between the Arnon and Jabbok.
