And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2
And the spirit of the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
;
3
And shall make him of
quick understanding in the fear of the L
ORD
: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither
reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4
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.
5
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his
loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6
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.
7
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of
the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9
They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the L
ORD
, as the
waters cover the sea.
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.
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.
14
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.
15
And the L
ORD
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.
16
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.
CHAPTER 12
And in that day thou shalt say, O L
ORD
, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine
anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2
Behold, God
is
my salvation; I will trust, and not
be afraid: for the L
ORD
JEHOVAH
is
my strength and
my
song; he also is become my salvation.
3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the L
ORD
, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his
name is exalted.
5
Sing unto the L
ORD
; for he hath done excellent things: this
is
known in all the
