Isaiah 11:1-9

NSB(i) 5 Righteousness will be the belt around his loins. Faithfulness will be the belt around His waist. 6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the well-fed animal together. A little boy will lead them. 7 Also the cow and the bear will graze. Their young will lie down together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra. The weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. 9 They will not hurt or destroy in my entire holy mountain. This is because the earth will be full of the knowledge of Jehovah just as the waters cover the sea. 1 There must go forth a twig out of the stump of Jesse. A branch (sprout) (shoot) (descendant) from his roots will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of Jehovah will rest on him. The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and respect for Jehovah will be his. 3 He will delight in the reverence of Jehovah. He will not judge by what his eyes see, nor make a decision by what his ears hear. 4 But with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth (power of his words), and with the spirit (breath) of his lips he will destroy the wicked.
