Isaiah 11:1-9

Thomson(i) 1 And there shall spring up a shoot from the root of Jessai; even from that root shall spring up a blooming shoot; 2 and the spirit of God will rest upon him; a spirit of wisdom and understanding; a spirit of counsel and majesty; a spirit of knowledge and piety: 3 by this spirit he will be filled with the fear of God. He will not judge according to opinion, nor will he reprove according to report; 4 but he will administer justice to the lowly, and work conviction in the meek of the earth. And he will smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with a breath from his lips destroy the wicked. 5 His loins will be girded with saving goodness, and his reins clothed with truth. 6 And a wolf shall pasture with a lamb; and a leopard shall lie down with a kid; and the calf, and bull and lion shall pasture together, and a little child shall tend them. 7 The cow and bear shall feed together; and together their young shall herd; and the lion shall eat chaff like an ox. 8 And the sucking child shall lay its hand on the holes of asps and on the bed of young asps. 9 And they shall not hurt nor have power to destroy any one on the mountain which is my sanctuary. Because the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord as abundant water covereth depths of seas;
