And there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem
of Jesse
, and a Branch
shall grow
out of his roots
:
And the spirit of the LORD
shall rest
upon him, the spirit
of wisdom
and understanding
, the spirit
of counsel
and might
, the spirit
of knowledge
and of the fear
of the LORD
;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear
of the LORD
: and he shall not judge
after the sight
of his eyes
, neither reprove
after the hearing
of his ears
:
But with righteousness shall he judge
the poor
, and reprove
with equity
for the meek
of the earth
: and he shall smite
the earth
with the rod
of his mouth
, and with the breath
of his lips
shall he slay
the wicked
.
And righteousness shall be the girdle
of his loins
, and faithfulness
the girdle
of his reins
.
The wolf also shall dwell
with the lamb
, and the leopard
shall lie down
with the kid
; and the calf
and the young lion
and the fatling
together
; and a little
child
shall lead
them.
And the cow and the bear
shall feed
; their young ones
shall lie down
together
: and the lion
shall eat
straw
like the ox
.
And the sucking child shall play
on the hole
of the asp
, and the weaned child
shall put
his hand
on the cockatrice
' den
.
They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy
mountain
: for the earth
shall be full
of the knowledge
of the LORD
, as the waters
cover
the sea
.
And 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
.
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
.
And 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
.
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
.
But they shall fly upon the shoulders
of the Philistines
toward the west
; they shall spoil
them
of the east
together
: they shall lay
their hand
upon Edom
and Moab
; and the children
of Ammon
shall obey
them.
And the LORD shall utterly destroy
the tongue
of the Egyptian
sea
; and with his mighty
wind
shall he shake
his hand
over the river
, and shall smite
it in the seven
streams
, and make men go over
dryshod
.
And there shall be an 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
.
