8 And a young child shall lay his hand over the hole of asps, and on the lair of the offspring of asps.

9 And they shall not do evil, neither shall they be able to destroy any upon my holy mountain; for the whole (earth) is ﬁlled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covereth seas.

10 And in that day shall be the root of Jesse, and he that standeth up to rule over nations; in him shall nations hope. And his rest shall be honour.

11 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again show his hand to be jealous for the remnant which is left of the people, whatever be left from the Assyrians, and from Egypt, and Babylonia, and Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising up of the sun, and from Arabia.

12 And he shall lift up a signal toward the nations, and shall bring together them that are. perished of Israel, and them that are scattered of Judah shall he bring together from the four corners of the earth.

13 And the yoke of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Judah shall perish; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not afflict Ephraim.

14 And they shall ﬂy in ’ ships; they shall plunder the sea together, and them from the rising of the sun, and Edom; and upon Moab ﬁrst shall they lay their hands, and the children of Ammon shall be ﬁrst to obey them.

15 And the Lord shall make the sea of Egypt desolate, and shall lay his hand upon the river with a mighty wind, and shall smite seven channels, so that he go over (dry) shod,

16 And there shall be a way for my people that are left in Egypt; and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came out of the land of Egypt.

XII. 1 And thou shalt in that day, I will praise thee, Ο Lord, because thou wast angry with me, and didst turn away thy wrath, and pitiedst me.

2 Behold, my God is my Saviour, I will trust in him, and will not be afraid; for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and he is become my salvation.

3 And ye shall draw water with joy out of the fountains of salvation.

4 And thou shalt say in that day, Praise the Lord, cry his name aloud, proclaim his glorious deeds among the nations; make mention that his name is exalted.

5 Praise the name of the Lord, for he hath done exalted deeds; proclaim this in all the earth.

6 Exult and rejoice, ye that dwell in Zion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of thee.

2 Lift ye up a signal on a mountain in a plain, upraise your voice to them, be] not afraid: encourage (them) in heart: open, ye rulers.

3 Ι marshal them, even I; they are sanctified, and I lead them; giants come to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing and proud together.

4 Α voice of many nations upon the mountains, like (the voice) of many nations; a voice of kings and of nations gathered together. The Lord of Hosts hath commanded an armed nation

5 To come from aland afar off, from the uttermost foundation of heaven, the Lord and his armed men, to destroy the whole world.
