Context — The Root of Jesse
9They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is full of water.
10On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, and His place of rest will be glorious.
11On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will collect the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will no longer envy Judah, nor will Judah harass Ephraim.Cross References

| 4 | Hosea 3:4–5 | For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol. Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days. |
| 5 | Jeremiah 30:8–11 | On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them. Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid. For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.” |
| 6 | Hosea 11:11 | They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD. |
| 7 | Leviticus 26:40–42 | But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me— and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. |
| 8 | Deuteronomy 4:27–31 | Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice. For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath. |
| 9 | Romans 11:26 | And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. |
| 10 | Deuteronomy 30:3–6 | then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.

And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers. The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. |
Isaiah 11:11 Summary
Isaiah 11:11 tells us that God will reach out and rescue His people from all the places they have been scattered. This is a promise of hope and deliverance, similar to when God first delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt (as seen in Exodus 14:31). Just like God had a plan to rescue His people in the past, He still has a plan to gather them today and bring them back to Himself. This verse reminds us that God is powerful and loves His people, and we can trust Him to care for us and bring us to a place of safety and rest (as promised in Psalm 23:2-3).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the Lord to 'extend His hand a second time' in Isaiah 11:11?

Is this prophecy in Isaiah 11:11 still to be fulfilled, or has it already happened?
While some aspects of this prophecy may have been partially fulfilled in history, the ultimate fulfillment is still future, as indicated by the context of the surrounding verses, such as Isaiah 11:10, which speaks of the Root of Jesse standing as a banner for the peoples.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day,.... Before spoken of, and which includes the whole Gospel dispensation: [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time; which refers to a first, in
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 11:11
The second time: the first time, to which this word second relates, seems to be, either, 1. The deliverance out of Egypt, as most both Jewish and Christian interpreters understand it; and then this second deliverance must be that out of Babylon. Or, 2. The deliverance out of Babylon; and then this second deliverance must be in the days of the Messiah; which, with submission to better judgments, seems to me more probable, 1. Because that first deliverance is supposed to be, like the second, a deliverance of the remnant of this people from several countries, into which they were dispersed; whereas that out of Egypt was a deliverance not of a remnant, but of the whole nation, and that out of Egypt only. 2. Because this second deliverance was universal, extending to the generality of the outcasts and dispersed ones, both of Israel, or the ten tribes, and of Judah, or the two tribes, as is evident from ,13; whereas that out of Babylon reached only to the two tribes, and to some few of the ten tribes which were mixed with them, as is acknowledged, both by Jews and Christians. 3. Because this second deliverance was given them in the days of the Messiah, and did accompany or follow the conversion of the Gentiles, as is evident from ,10; whereas that out of Babylon was long before the coming of the Messiah, and the calling of the Gentiles. From Assyria, & c.; from all places, both far and near, into which either the ten tribes or the two tribes were carried captives; for the places of both their captivities are here named; of which it is needless to discourse particularly., because they are well known, and have been considered in former texts. Only Pathros was not named before; and that was a province in Egypt, which yet is sometimes distinguished from Egypt strictly so called. See on ,15 Ezekiel 29:14 30:14.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 11:11
Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.Ver. 11. The Lord shall set his hand again the second time.] Not to bring them back to the promised land, to Palestina, as once he did out of Egypt; that is but a rabbinical dream, not unlike that other - viz., that all Jews, in what country soever they are buried, do travel through certain underground passages till they come to their own country of Jewry. But with an outstretched hand he shall recover the remnant of his people that shall he left; so the poet, “ Reliquias Danaum atque immitis Achillei. ” He shall recover.] Or, Get, buy, purchase that poor dissected nation, out of all places of their dispersion, uniting their minds and subduing their enemies.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 11:11
(11) The Lord shall set his hand again the second time . . .—The “first” time, implied in the “second,” was obviously that of the Exodus. Then, as from a state of extremest misery, they had entered on their life as a nation, and what had been in the past should be reproduced yet more wonderfully in the future. The list of countries that follows rests in part on the fact of a dispersion already begun, as in 2 Kings 15:29; 2 Kings 17:6, and Isaiah 43:5-6, partly on the prophet’s prevision of the coming years. The great kingdoms by which Judah was surrounded are all enumerated:—(1) Assyria; (2) Egypt, i.e., Lower Egypt; (3) Pathros, probably the region of Upper Egypt, of which Thebes was the capital (the name has been interpreted as “Southland,” or as connected with the worship of the goddess Athor); (4) Cush, i.e., Ethiopia, higher up the valley of the Nile, governed at this time by a warlike and powerful dynasty (see Isaiah 37:9); (5) Elam, often translated Persia, but probably used, with a wider range, for the region east of the lower course of the Tigris and Euphrates; (6) Shinar, as in Genesis 11:1, the plain south of the junction of those rivers; (7) Hamath, the nearest of the hostile kingdoms (see Note on Isaiah 10:9); and, lastly, the “island” or coast regions of the Mediterranean Sea. In Zephaniah 3:10 we have traces of an Ethiopian captivity; in Ezra 2:7, of exiles in Elam.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 11:11
Verse 11. And it shall come to pass in that day] This part of the chapter contains a prophecy which certainly remains yet to be accomplished. The Lord - "JEHOVAH"] For אדני Adonai, thirty-three MSS. of Kennicott's, and many of De Rossi's, and two editions, read יהוה Yehovah. The islands of the sea.] The Roman and Turkish empires, say Kimchi.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 11:11
Ch. 11:(10) Isaiah 11:11-16. A Prophecy of the Return from Exile
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass - The prophet having, in the previous verse, stated the effect of the reign of the Messiah on the Gentile world, proceeds to state the result on the scattered Jews.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 11:11
11, 12. The next point is, how this shall be, with Israel scattered to the four winds before Messiah comes. Come to pass in that day — Some future time, as in last verse. Shall… again… the second time — To what does this refer?
