Isaiah 11:1-10 - The Branch's Righteous Reign
1 And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit. 2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him-- a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh. 3 And his {breath} [is] in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by {what he hears with} his ears. 4 But he shall judge [the] poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for [the] needy of [the] earth with rectitude. And he shall strike [the] earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill [the] wicked person with the breath of his lips. 5 And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins. 6 And a wolf shall {stay} with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie down with a kid, and a calf and a lion and a fatling together {as a small boy leads} them. 7 And a cow and a bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together. And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle. 8 And {an infant} shall play over a serpent's hole, and {a toddler} shall put his hand on a viper's hole. 9 They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my {holy mountain}, for the earth will be full [of the] knowledge [of] Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And this shall happen on that day: [the] nations shall inquire of the root of Jesse, which shall be standing as a signal to [the] peoples, and his resting place shall be glorious.
