Isaiah 11:11
ESV In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.
NIV In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.
NASB Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover with His hand the second time The remnant of His people who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.
CSB On that day the Lord will extend his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people who survive—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west.
NLT In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people — those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
KJV 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.
NKJV 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 who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the islands of the sea.

What does Isaiah 11:11 mean?

This future kingdom about which Isaiah has written will be ruled by the descendant of King David and his father, Jesse (Isaiah 11:1). The previous verse revealed that the Messiah will be the signal that will draw all the non-Jewish peoples and nations to willingly gather under His reign (Isaiah 11:10).

Now Isaiah describes how the Messiah will once more gather all the Jewish people of the world to Himself. God will extend His hand to bring His people home to the nation of Israel, just as he had done when He freed them from Egypt. He will recover the remnant of the Israelites from the corners of the earth. This will include Assyria, Elam, and Shinar or Babylonia in the east; Hamath in the north; Lower Egypt, Pathros or Upper Egypt, and Cush in the south; and the islands or coastlands of the sea in the west.

The inclusion of these specific directions does not mean these are the only places from which God will call His people home. They were likely included to indicate that He would draw His people to Himself from all over the world.
