Isaiah 11:1-5

Rotherham(i) 1 But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,––And, a sprout, from his roots, shall bear fruit; 2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest, upon him,––The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge, and reverence of Yahweh; 3 So will he find fragrance, in the reverence of Yahweh, And not, by the sight of his eyes, will he judge, Nor, by the hearing of his ears, will he decide; 4 But he will judge, with righteousness, them who are poor, And decide, with equity! for the oppressed of the land,––And he will smite the land with the sceptre of his mouth, And, with the breath of his lips, will he slay the lawless one; 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,––And faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
