Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.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.
