Isaiah 11 |
1 |
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 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 |
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: |
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 LORD, 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 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. |
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. |
