Isaiah 11:11-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. At that time the Lord will again reach out and take his people who are left alive. These are God’s people who are left alive in Assyria, North Egypt, South Egypt, Cush, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath and all the islands of the sea.

12. God will raise a banner as a sign for all people.He will gather the people of Israel who were forced from their country.He will gather the scattered people of Judahfrom all parts of the earth.

13. At that time Israel will not be jealous anymore.Judah will have no enemies left.Israel will not be jealous of Judah.And Judah will not hate Israel.

14. But Israel and Judah will attack the Philistines on the west.Together they will take the riches from the people of the east.They will conquer Edom and Moab.And the people of Ammon will be under their control.

15. The Lord will dry upthe Red Sea of Egypt.He will wave his arm over the Euphrates River.He will dry it up with a scorching wind.He will divide it into seven small rivers.And people will be able to walk across them with their sandals on.

16. So God’s people who are left alivewill have a way to leave Assyria.It will be like the time the Israeliteswent out of Egypt.
