Then a ashoot will spring from the bstem of Jesse, And a cbranch from dhis roots will bear fruit.
2The aSpirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of bwisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and cstrength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
3And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes asee, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
4But with arighteousness He will judge the bpoor, And decide with fairness for the cafflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the drod of His mouth, And with the ebreath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
5Also arighteousness will be the belt about His loins, And bfaithfulness the belt about His waist.
6And the awolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion 1and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.
7Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the alion will eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.
9They will anot hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the bearth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.
10Then in that day The anations will resort to the broot of Jesse, Who will stand as a 1 csignal for the peoples; And His dresting place will be 2glorious.
Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The aremnant of His people, who will remain, From bAssyria, cEgypt, Pathros, Cush, dElam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the 1 eislands of the sea.
12And He will lift up a astandard for the nations And bassemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.
13Then the ajealousy 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.
14They will aswoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the bwest; Together they will cplunder the sons of the east; 1They will possess dEdom and eMoab, And the sons of Ammon will be 2subject to them.
15And the LORD will 1 autterly destroy The tongue of the 2Sea of Egypt; And He will bwave His hand over the 3 cRiver With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over 4dry-shod.
16And there will be a ahighway from Assyria For the bremnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In cthe day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
