Chapter 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. |
