Chapter 11

And there shall come forth¹ a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow⁴ out of his roots:

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest¹ 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;

And shall make him of quick understanding⁵³ in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge⁴ after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove⁵⁵ after the hearing of his ears:

But with righteousness shall he judge¹ the poor, and reprove⁵² with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite⁵² the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay⁵⁵ the wicked.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

The wolf also shall dwell¹ with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down⁴ with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead⁶ them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed;⁴ their young ones shall lie down⁴ together: and the lion shall eat⁴ straw like the ox.

And the sucking child⁶ shall play⁴³ on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child⁷ shall put¹ his hand on the cockatrice' den.

They shall not hurt⁵⁵ nor destroy⁵⁵ in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full¹ of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover¹⁸ the sea.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand⁶ for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek:⁴ and his rest shall be glorious.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again⁵⁵ the second time to recover² the remnant of his people, which shall be left,¹¹ 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.

And he shall set up¹ an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble¹ the outcasts¹² of Israel, and gather together¹⁷ the dispersed⁷ of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,¹ and the adversaries⁶ of Judah shall be cut off:¹¹ Ephraim shall not envy¹⁷ Judah, and Judah shall not vex⁴ Ephraim.

But they shall fly¹ upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil⁴ them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

And the LORD shall utterly destroy⁵² the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake⁵² his hand over the river, and shall smite⁵² it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over⁵² dryshod.

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left,¹¹ from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up² out of the land of Egypt.
