Isaiah

¹ Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

² The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.

³ And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;

⁴ And decide with uprightness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will put the wicked to death.

⁵ And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

⁶ And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a young boy will lead them.

⁷ Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

⁸ And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

⁹ For the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh As the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰ Then it will be in that day, That the nations will seek the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a standard for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.

¹¹ Will again acquire the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the coastlands of the sea.

¹² And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the scattered of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

¹³ And those who assail Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not assail Ephraim.

¹⁴ Together they will plunder the sons of the east; They will stretch out their hands over Edom and Moab, And the sons of Ammon will obey them.

¹⁵ The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry‑shod.

¹⁶ For the remnant of His people who will remain, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
