# Chapter 11
|
||
1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
|
||
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
|
||
2 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.
|
||
3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
|
||
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
|
||
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
|
||
4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
|
||
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
|
||
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
|
||
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
|
||
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
|
||
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
|
||
6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
|
||
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
|
||
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
|
||
And a little child shall lead them.
|
||
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
|
||
Their young ones shall lie down together;
|
||
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
|
||
8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
|
||
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
|
||
9 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.
|
||
10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
|
||
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
|
||
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
|
||
And His resting place shall be glorious.”
|
||
11 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 who are left,
|
||
From Assyria and Egypt,
|
||
From Pathros and Cush,
|
||
From Elam and Shinar,
|
||
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
|
||
12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
|
||
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
|
||
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
|
||
From the four corners of the earth.
|
||
13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
|
||
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
|
||
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
|
||
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
|
||
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
|
||
Together they shall plunder the people of the East;
|
||
They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
|
||
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
|
||
15 The Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
|
||
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River,
|
||
And strike it in the seven streams,
|
||
And make men cross over dry-shod.
|
||
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
|
||
Who will be left from Assyria,
|
||
As it was for Israel
|
||
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt. |
