Isaiah 11:1-9

1Then a 1shoot will spring from the 2stem of Jesse, And a 3branch from 4his roots will bear fruit.2The 5Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of 6wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and 7strength, 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 8see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;4But with 9righteousness He will judge the 10poor, And decide with fairness for the 11afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the 12rod of His mouth, And with the 13breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.5Also 14righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And 15faithfulness the belt about His waist.

6And the 16wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion 17and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.7Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the 18lion 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 19not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the 20earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.
