12. He will lift a signal flag for the nations;he will gather Israel’s dispersed people and assemble Judah’s scattered peoplefrom the four corners of the earth.
13. Ephraim’s jealousy will end, and Judah’s hostility will be eliminated.Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah,and Judah will no longer be hostile toward Ephraim.
14. They will swoop down on the Philistine hills to the west;together they will loot the people of the east.They will take over Edom and Moab,and the Ammonites will be their subjects.
15. The Lord will divide the gulf of the Egyptian Sea;he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and send a strong wind,he will turn it into seven dried-up streams,and enable them to walk across in their sandals.
16. There will be a highway leading out of Assyriafor the remnant of his people,just as there was for Israel,when they went up from the land of Egypt.
