Chapter 11
|
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 on the hole 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 of the LORD,
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
shall set 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,
and 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 shall obey them. |
15
|
And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the
Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake
his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven
streams, and make men go over dryshod. |
16
|
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it
was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land
of Egypt. |
