Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 11:13

13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart , and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim .

i. e. Of the Ten Tribes, frequently called by the name of Ephraim, as hath been already and frequently observed, between whom and Iudah there were great Emulations and Contentions.

Of Enemies they shall be made Friends, and of Wolves, Lambs; as was said before on v. 6. they shall be united together in one Church, under the Messiah, keeping the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace.

Not the Body of Ephraim, for they are supposed to be reconciled, and they shall not be cut off, but live in love with Iudah, as we see by the next Clause; but those few of them which possibly may continue in their Enmity against them, together with all the rest of their Adversaries.

Not onely all outward Hostilities shall cease, but also their inward Animosities.
