\v 1 A shoot will sprout from the root of Jesse, and a branch out of his root will bear fruit.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 The Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
|
|
\q1 the spirit of instruction and might,
|
|
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 His delight will be the fear of the Lord;
|
|
\q1 he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by
|
|
what his ears hear.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Instead, he will judge the poor with righteousness and decide fairly for the humble of the earth.
|
|
\q1 He will strike the
|
|
earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
|
|
\q1
|
|

|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|

|
|
\v 6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
|
|
\q1 the calf, the young lion and
|
|
the fattened calf, together. A little child will lead them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together.
|
|
\q1 The lion will eat straw like the ox.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 A baby will play over the hole of the snake,
|
|
\q1 and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's den.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 They will not hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain;
|
|
\q1 for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the
|
|
waters cover the sea.
|

|
|
\q1 to recover the remnant of
|
|
his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt,
|
|
\q1 Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.

|

will no longer be hostile to Ephraim.

|
|
\q1 They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over
|
|
the Euphrates River
|
|
\q1 and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria,
|
|
\q1 as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
