Isaias

XI. 1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a Branch out of his roots shall bear fruit;

2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, a spirit of wisdom and discernment, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD:

3 And he shall breathe in the fear of l the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears:

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for ’ meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breather 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 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child their leader.

7 And the cow and the bear shall graze: 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 stretch his hand upon the ’s den.

9 They shall not do evil or deal corruptly in all my. holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And it shall be in that day; the root of Jesse, which standeth for an ensign of the peoples, of him shall the nations inquire: and his resting-place shall be glory.

11 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to purchase the remnant of his people which shall remain from ASsyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from llamath, and from the isles of the sea.

12 And he shalllift up an ensign for the nations, and shall gather the outcasts of Israel, and collect the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 And the jealousy of Ephraim shall remove, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut 06; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not be adverse to Ephraim.

14 And they shall light upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil the children of the east to- gether; Edom and Moab shall be the putting forth of their hand, and the children of Ammon their obedience.

15 And. the LORD shall lay under a ban the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with the violence of his wind shall he wave his hand over the river, and shall smite it into seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall remain from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
