Isaiah 11:1-14

Isaiah 11:1-14

[1] And there shall come forth  a rod  out of the stem  of Jesse,  and a Branch  shall grow  out of his roots:  [2] And the spirit  of the LORD  shall rest  upon him, the spirit  of wisdom  and understanding,  the spirit  of counsel  and might,  the spirit  of knowledge  and of the fear  of the LORD;  [3] And shall make him of quick understanding  in the fear  of the LORD:  and he shall not judge  after the sight  of his eyes,  neither reprove  after the hearing  of his ears:  [4] But with righteousness  shall he judge  the poor,  and reprove  with equity  for the meek  of the earth:  and he shall smite  the earth  with the rod  of his mouth,  and with the breath  of his lips  shall he slay  the wicked.  [5] And righteousness  shall be the girdle  of his loins,  and faithfulness  the girdle  of his reins.  [6] The wolf  also shall dwell  with the lamb,  and the leopard  shall lie down  with the kid;  and the calf  and the young lion  and the fatling  together;  and a little  child  shall lead  them. [7] And the cow  and the bear  shall feed;  their young ones  shall lie down  together:  and the lion  shall eat  straw  like the ox.  [8] And the sucking child  shall play  of the asp,  and the weaned child  shall put  his hand  on the cockatrice'  den.  [9] They shall not hurt  nor destroy  in all my holy  mountain:  for the earth  shall be full  of the knowledge  as the waters  cover  the sea.  [10] And in that day  there shall be a root  of Jesse,  which shall stand  for an ensign  of the people;  to it shall the Gentiles  seek:  and his rest  shall be glorious.  [11] And it shall come to pass in that day,  that the Lord  his hand  again  the second time  to recover  the remnant  of his people,  which shall be left,  from Assyria,  and from Egypt,  and from Pathros,  and from Cush,  and from Elam,  and from Shinar,  and from Hamath,  and from the islands  of the sea.  [12] And he shall set up  an ensign  for the nations,  and shall assemble  the outcasts  of Israel,  and gather together  the dispersed  of Judah  from the four  corners  of the earth.  [13] The envy  also of Ephraim  shall depart,  and the adversaries  of Judah  shall be cut off:  Ephraim  shall not envy  Judah,  shall not vex  Ephraim.  [14] But they shall fly  upon the shoulders  of the Philistines  toward the west;  they shall spoil  them  of the east  together:  they shall lay  their hand  upon Edom  and Moab;  and the children  of Ammon
