14 But they[a] will swoop down
    on the slopes[b] of the Philistines to the west,
        and they will plunder[c] the people to[d] the east.
They’ll lay their hands on Edom and Moab,
    and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
15 The Lord will totally destroy
    the gulf[e] of the Sea of Egypt.
He will sweep his hand
    over the Euphrates River
        with a violent wind,[f]
breaking it up into seven streams,
    and making a way for people to cross on foot.
16 And there will be a highway
    for the remnant that is left of his people out of Assyria,
as there was for Israel
    when they came up
        from the land of Egypt.
