*
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse ,
and a branch shall grow out of his roots .
*
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 the fear of the LORD .
*
And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD .
He shall not judge by what his eyes see ,
or decide by what his ears hear ;
*
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor ,
and decide 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 he shall slay the wicked .
*
Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist ,
and faithfulness the girdle of his loins .
*
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb ,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid ,
and the calf and the lion and the fatling together ,
and a little child shall lead them .
*
The cow and the bear shall feed ;
their young shall lie down together ;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox .
*
The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp ,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder '
s den .
*
They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain ;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea .
