Isaiah 11:3-16

3And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes 1see, Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;4But with 2righteousness He will judge the 3poor, And decide with fairness for the 4humble of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the 5rod of His mouth, And with the 6breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.5Also 7righteousness will be the belt around His hips, And 8faithfulness the belt around His waist.

6And the 9wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion 10and the fattened steer will be together; And a little boy will lead them.7Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the 11lion 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 12not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the 13earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.

10Then on that day The 14nations will resort to the 15root of Jesse, Who will stand as a 16signal flag for the peoples; And His 17resting place will be 18glorious.

11Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover with His hand the second time The 19remnant of His people who will remain, From 20Assyria, 21Egypt, Pathros, Cush, 22Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the 2324islands of the sea.12And He will lift up a 25flag for the nations And 26assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.13Then the 27jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be eliminated; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim.14They will 28swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the 29west; Together they will 30plunder the 31people of the east; 32They will possess 33Edom and 34Moab, And the sons of Ammon will be 35subject to them.15And the Lord will 3637utterly destroy The tongue of the 38Sea of Egypt; And He will 39wave His hand over the 40Euphrates River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make people walk over in dry sandals.16And there will be a 41highway from Assyria For the 42remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel On 43the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
