Isaias

21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the Mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant (only) of it shall return; destruction is decided, overflowing in righteousness.

23 For a destruction and a decision shall the Lord GOD of Hosts make, in the midst of all the earth.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Hosts, Be not afraid, my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur; though he smite thee with a rod, and lift up his staff against thee, in the way of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and indignation shall be at an end, and mine anger shall be to their destruction.

26 And the LORD of Hosts shall stir up a scourge against him like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb ; and his rod is upon the sea, and he lifteth it up, in the way of Egypt.

27 And it shall be in that day, his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from of? thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.

28 He is come upon Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;

29 They pass through the pass: in Geba they make their lodging; Ramah trembleth: Gibeah of Saul fleeth.

30 Cry out with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: listen, Laishah; O thou poor Anathoth!

31 Madmenah wandereth away; the inhabitants of Gebim gather (their goods) to flee.

32 Within this very day he halteth at Nob, waving his hand (at) the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, shall lop the leafy bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a majestic one.

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.
