* Then shall spring forth a shoot from the stem of Jesse , And a sprout grow up from his roots . * The spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him , The spirit of wisdom and understanding , The spirit of counsel and might , The spirit of the knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah , * He shall take delight in the fear of Jehovah ; He shall not judge by the sight of his eyes , Nor decide by the hearing of his ears . * But with righteousness shall he judge the poor , And decide with equity for the afflicted of the land ; He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth ; With the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked . * Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins , And faithfulness the girdle of his reins . * Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb , And the leopard shall lie down with the kid ; The calf , and the young lion , and the fatling shall be together , And a little child shall lead them . * The cow and the bear shall feed together , Together shall their young lie down , And the lion shall eat straw like the ox . * The suckling shall play upon the hole of the asp , And the near –weaned child lay his hand on the hiding –place of the basilisk . * They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain ; For the land shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah , As the waters cover the depths of the sea . * In that day shall the shoot of Jesse stand as a banner to the nations , And to him shall the gentiles repair , And his dwelling –place shall be glorious . * In that day shall Jehovah the second time stretch forth his hand To recover the remnant of his people , That remaineth , from Assyria , and from Egypt , And from Pathros , and from Ethiopia , and from Elam , And from Shinar , and from Hamath , And from the islands of the sea . * He shall set up a banner to the nations , And gather the outcasts of Israel , And bring together the dispersed of Judah , From the four extremities of the earth . * Then shall the jealousy of Ephraim depart , And the enmity in Judah be at an end ; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah , And Judah shall not contend with Ephraim . * But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines at the sea ; Together shall they plunder the children of the East ; On Edom and Moab shall they lay their hand , And the sons of Ammon shall be subject to them . * Then will Jehovah utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea , And shake his hand over the river with a mighty wind , And smite it into seven streams , So that men may go over it dry –shod . * And it shall be a highway for the remnant of the people , Which shall remain , from Assyria , As there was to Israel , When he came up from the land of Egypt .
