Isaiah 11
11
The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring
1There #(Zech. 6:12); Rev. 5:5shall come forth a Rod from the stem of #(Is. 9:7; 11:10); Matt. 1:5; (Acts 13:23)Jesse,
And #Is. 4:2a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2#(Is. 42:1; 48:16; 61:1; Matt. 3:16); Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; (John 1:32)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 of the fear of the Lord.
3His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4But #Rev. 19:11with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall #Job 4:9; Is. 30:28, 33; Mal. 4:6; 2 Thess. 2:8strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
6“The#Hos. 2:18 wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9#Job 5:23; Is. 65:25; Ezek. 34:25; Hos. 2:18They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For #Ps. 98:2, 3; Is. 45:6; Hab. 2:14the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.
10“And#Is. 2:11 in that day #Is. 11:1; Rom. 15:12there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a #Is. 27:12, 13banner to the people;
For the #Rom. 15:10Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”
11It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
#Is. 19:23–25; Hos. 11:11; Zech. 10:10From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
12He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together #John 7:35the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13Also #Is. 9:21; Jer. 3:18; Ezek. 37:16, 17, 22; Hos. 1:11the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the people of the East;
#Is. 63:1; Dan. 11:41; Joel 3:19; Amos 9:12They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
15The Lord #Is. 50:2; 51:10, 11; Zech. 10:10, 11will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over dry-shod.
16#Is. 19:23There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,
#Ex. 14:29As it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 11
11
The Branch’s Righteous Reign
1And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
2And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him—
a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a spirit of counsel and might,
a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
3And his breath#Hebrew “smelling,” perhaps metaphorically as “delight” as in Amos 5:14; perhaps this line was accidentally copied twice from the preceding line is in the fear of Yahweh.
And he shall judge not by his eyesight,
and he shall rebuke not by what he hears with#Literally “the rumors of” his ears.
4But he shall judge the poor with righteousness,
and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude.
And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.
5And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,
and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
6And a wolf shall stay#Literally “dwell as an alien” with a lamb,
and a leopard shall lie down with a kid,
and a calf and a lion and a fatling together
as a small boy leads#Literally “and a small boy leading” them.
7And a cow and a bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together.
And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle.
8And an infant#Literally “one nursing” shall play over a serpent’s hole,
and a toddler#Literally “one who is weaned” shall put his hand on a viper’s hole.
9They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my holy mountain,#Literally “mountain of holiness”
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh,
as the waters cover the sea.
10And this shall happen on that day:
the nations shall inquire of the root of Jesse,
which shall be standing as a signal to the peoples,
and his resting place shall be glorious.
The Regathered Remnant
11And this shall happen on that day:
The Lord will again extend his hand a second time
to acquire the remnant of his people that is left,
from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coastlands of the sea,
12and he will raise a signal for the nations.
And he will gather the outcasts of Israel,
and he will gather the scattered ones of Judah together from the four corners#Literally “wings” of the earth.
13And the jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and the enemies of Judah shall be cut off.
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not be an enemy of Ephraim.
14But they shall swoop#Literally “fly” upon the Philistine shoulder,#That is, the hill country west of Judah westward.#Literally “sea”
Together they shall plunder the sons of the east.
Edom and Moab will be under their command,#Literally “the stretching of their hand”
and the sons of Ammon will be their subjugated people.
15And Yahweh will divide#Or “utterly destroy” the tongue#Probably the “gulf” of the sea of Egypt,#That is, the Red Sea
and he will wave his hand over the river#That is, the Euphrates River with his scorching wind;
and he will strike it into seven streams,
and he will make it passable by foot.#Literally “cause to walk with the sandal”
16So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains,
as there was for Israel when#Literally “in the day” it went up from the land of Egypt.
