Isaiah 11
11
Righteous Reign of the Branch
1Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.
2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
4But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the humble of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
5Also righteousness will be the belt around His hips,
And faithfulness the belt around His waist.
6¶And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion #11:6 Some ancient versions will feed togetherand the fattened steer will be together;
And a little boy will lead them.
7Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.
10¶Then on that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a signal flag for the peoples;
And His resting place will be #11:10 Lit gloryglorious.
The Restored Remnant
11¶Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
Will again recover with His hand the second time
The remnant of His people who will remain,
From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the #11:11 Or coastlandsislands of the sea.
12And He will lift up a flag for the nations
And assemble the banished ones of Israel,
And will gather the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart,
And those who harass Judah will be eliminated;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
And Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;
Together they will plunder the #11:14 Lit sonspeople of the east;
# 11:14 Lit Edom and Moab will be the outstretching of their hand They will possess Edom and Moab,
And the sons of Ammon will be #11:14 Lit their obediencesubject to them.
15And the Lord will #11:15 Another reading is dry up the tongueutterly destroy
The tongue of the #11:15 Perhaps the Red SeaSea of Egypt;
And He will wave His hand over the Euphrates River
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make people walk over in dry sandals.
16And there will be a highway from Assyria
For the remnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
On the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
