Context of Isaiah 11:11
9They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea. 10Then in that day The nations will make supplications to the Root of Jesse Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious. Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again acquire with His hand a second time The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, from [Lower] Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush (Ethiopia), from Elam [in Persia], from Shinar [Babylonia], from Hamath [in Aram], And from the coastlands bordering the [Mediterranean] Sea. 12And He will lift up a signal for the nations And assemble the outcasts of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. 13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim.

Commentaries on Isaiah 11:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11And 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.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11And 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. Whether it is to be a literal re-collecting of the scattered tribes to the land of their fathers, has been a subject of debate, and is still so by expositors. We may be able to determine what is the correct general interpretation after the particular phrases have been…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-16Verses 10-16 When the gospel should be publicly preached, the Gentiles would seek Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and find rest of soul. When God's time is come for the deliverance of his people, mountains of opposition shall become plains before him. God can soon turn gloomy days into glorious ones. And while we expect the Lord to gather his ancient people, and bring them home to his church, also to bring in the fulness of the Gentiles, when all…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11The first time the Lord reached out his hand was during the exodus. The second time will be in the future when the Messiah gathers non-Jewish people (Isaiah 11:10) and his own people living among them (11:11). The exodus remained a symbol of hope for those in exile (see Isaiah 11:16; 35:8; 40:3; 43:19–20; 48:21). The remnant of his people included Israelites who survived the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions and were exiled.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. set ... hand--take in hand the work. Therefore the coming restoration of the Jews is to be distinct from that after the Babylonish captivity, and yet to resemble it. The first restoration was literal, therefore so shall the second be; the latter, however, it is implied here, shall be much more universal than the former (Is 43:5-7; 49:12, 17, 18; Eze 37:21; Ho 3:5; Am 9:14, 15; Mi 4:6, 7; Zep 3:19, 20; Zec 10:10; Jr 23:8).
