Chapter 11.
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow
out of his roots.
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, 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, 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.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins.
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, and the cow and the bear shall feed,
their young ones shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
and the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child
shall put his hand on the cockatrice den.
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.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of
the people, to which shall the Gentiles seek, and his rest shall be glorious.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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 man go over dryshod.
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.
