The
Branch From Jesse
11 A shoot will
come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of
the Lord—
3 and he will
delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his
eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 but with
righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for
the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of
his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay
the wicked.
5 Righteousness will
be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his
waist.
6 The wolf will live
with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling
together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed
with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The infant will
play near the cobra’s den,
the young child will put its hand into the
viper’s nest.
9 They will neither
harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the
knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day the
Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to
him, and his resting place will be glorious. 11 In that day the
Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of
his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, k
from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the
Mediterranean.
12 He will raise a
banner for the nations
and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of
Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.
13 Ephraim’s jealousy
will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.
14 They will swoop
down on the slopes of Philistia to the west;
together they will plunder the people to
the east.
They will subdue Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
15 The Lord will dry up
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind he will sweep his
hand
over the Euphrates River.
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.
16 There will be a
highway for the remnant of his people
that is left from Assyria,
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.
