Isaiah 11:1-10
1There shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.
2The Spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
3His delight shall be in the fear of Yahweh; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;
4but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
6The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8The sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder`s den.
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
10It shall happen in that day, that the root of Jesse, who stands for an ensign of the peoples, to him shall the nations seek; and his resting-place shall be glorious.
