Isaiah 11:1-5

Isaiah 11:1-5

[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.
