8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroyon all my holy mountain,for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lordas the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.
11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.
12 He will raise a banner for the nationsand gather the exiles of Israel;he will assemble the scattered people of Judahfrom the four quarters of the earth.
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,and Judah’s enemies will be destroyed;Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,nor Judah hostile towards Ephraim.
