14 But they shall swoop[a] upon the Philistine shoulder,[b] westward.[c]
    Together they shall plunder the sons of the east.
Edom and Moab will be under their command,[d]
    and the sons of Ammon will be their subjugated people.
15 And Yahweh will divide[e] the tongue[f] of the sea of Egypt,[g]
    and he will wave his hand over the river[h] with his scorching wind;
and he will strike it into seven streams,
    and he will make it passable by foot.[i]
16 So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains,
    as there was for Israel when[j] it went up from the land of Egypt.
