Isaiah 11
- 1And there shall come out a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
- 2And the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
- 3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither correct after the hearing of his ears:
- 4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and correct with equity for the humble of the earth: and he shall strike the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.
- 5And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his innermost being.
- 6The wolf also shall live with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fattened calf together. A little child shall lead them.
- 7And the cow and the bear shall feed. Their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
- 8And the nursing child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper's den.
- 9They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
- 10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people. To it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
- 11And it will happen 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.
- 12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
- 13The envy also of Ephraim shall disappear, and the enemies of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not trouble Ephraim.
- 14But they shall fly on the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west. They shall plunder them of the east together: they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab. The children of Ammon shall obey them.
- 15And the Lord shall completely destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. With his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and make people cross over without getting their feet wet.
- 16And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria. Like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
