They will neither harm nor destroy(A)
    on all my holy mountain,(B)
for the earth(C) will be filled with the knowledge(D) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day(E) the Root of Jesse(F) will stand as a banner(G) for the peoples; the nations(H) will rally to him,(I) and his resting place(J) will be glorious.(K) 11 In that day(L) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(M) of his people from Assyria,(N) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(O) from Cush,[a](P) from Elam,(Q) from Babylonia,[b] from Hamath(R) and from the islands(S) of the Mediterranean.(T)

12 He will raise a banner(U) for the nations
    and gather(V) the exiles of Israel;(W)
he will assemble the scattered people(X) of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.(Y)

  2. Isaiah 11:11 Hebrew Shinar

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The Glory of Zion

60 “Arise,(A) shine, for your light(B) has come,
    and the glory(C) of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness(D) covers the earth
    and thick darkness(E) is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
    and his glory appears over you.
Nations(F) will come to your light,(G)
    and kings(H) to the brightness of your dawn.

“Lift up your eyes and look about you:
    All assemble(I) and come to you;
your sons come from afar,(J)
    and your daughters(K) are carried on the hip.(L)
Then you will look and be radiant,(M)
    your heart will throb and swell with joy;(N)
the wealth(O) on the seas will be brought to you,
    to you the riches of the nations will come.

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
