14 And they will (A)swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the (B)west;
Together they will (C)plunder the sons of the east;
[a]They will stretch out their hands over (D)Edom and (E)Moab,
And the sons of Ammon [b]will obey them.
15 And Yahweh will (F)devote to destruction
The tongue of the [c]Sea of Egypt;
And He will (G)wave His hand over the [d](H)River
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make men walk over [e]dry-shod.
16 And there will be a (I)highway from Assyria
For the (J)remnant of His people who will remain,
Just as there was for Israel
In (K)the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
