Here are 3 translators that don't agree (New Revised Standard, King James, NIV)
(Isa 11:12 NRSV) ... , and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four _corners_
of the earth.
(Isa 11:12 NIV) ...of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
from the four _quarters_ of the earth.
(Isa 11:12 KJV) ... and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four
_corners_ of the earth.
The Hebrew word for corners or quarters:
kanaph, kaw-nawf'; an edge or extremity; spec. (of a bird
or army) a wing, (of a garment or bed-clothing) a flap, _(of the earth) a quarter_,
(of a building) a pinnacle:-- + bird, border, _corner_, _end_, feather [-ed], X
flying, + (one an-) other, overspreading, X quarters, skirt, X sort,
uttermost part, wing ([-ed]).
Use in the New Tesatament:
(Rev 20:8 NRSV) and will come out to deceive the nations at the four _corners_ of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; ...
The Greek word for corners:
gonia, go-nee'-ah; an angle:--corner, quarter
