Yeshayah 11
11
1And there shall come forth a Khoter (Branch) out of the Geza (Stem, Stump, Stock) of Yishai, and a Netzer#11:1 Netzer — see Tzemach, Moshiach Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zech 3:8; 6:12; Ezra 3:8; which give as Moshiachʼs Namesake Yehoshua/Yeshua; compare Mt 2:23 (Branch) shall bear fruit of his roots:
2And the Ruach#11:2 Hakodesh of Hashem shall rest upon Him, the Ruach of Chochmah and Binah, the Ruach of Etzah (Counsel)#11:2 see Isa 9:5 and Gevurah, the Ruach of Da'as and of the Yir'at Hashem;
3And His delight shall be in the Yir'at Hashem: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears:
4But with tzedek shall He judge the needy, and reprove with mishor (equity, justice) for the anvei eretz: and He shall strike the earth with the shevet of His mouth, and with the Ruach of His lips shall he slay the reshah.
5And tzedek shall be the ezor (belt) of His loins, and emunah (faithfulness) the ezor of His waist.
6The ze'ev (wolf) also shall dwell with the keves, and the namer (leopard) shall lie down with the gedi (young goat); and the egel and the lion whelp and the fatling together; and a na'ar shall lead them.
7And the parah (cow) and the dov (bear) shall feed together; their yeladim shall lie down together; and the aryeh shall eat teven (straw) like the ox.
8And the yonek (sucking infant) shall play on the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his yad in the viperʼs me'urah (hole).
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My Har Kodesh; for ha'aretz shall be full of the da'as Hashem, as the mayim cover the sea.
10And in Yom HaHu there shall be a Shoresh Yishai, which shall stand for a nes (banner) for the peoples; to Him#11:10 Moshiach will the Goyim seek; and His menucha (resting place) shall be kavod.
11And it shall come to pass in Yom HaHu, that Adonoi shall set His yad again the second time to recover the She'ar (Remnant) of His people, which shall be left,#11:11 as survivors from Assyria, and from Mitzrayim, and from Patros, and from Kush, and from Eilam, and from Shinar, and from Chamat, and from the islands of the sea.
12And He shall raise up a nes (banner)#11:12 banner i.e., send a signal for the Goyim, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yisroel, and gather together the dispersed of Yehudah from the four corners of ha'aretz.
13The kinah (envy, jealousy) also of Ephrayim shall depart, and the adversaries of Yehudah shall be cut off; Ephrayim shall not envy Yehudah, and Yehudah shall not harass Ephrayim.
14But they shall swoop down upon the shoulders of the Pelishtim toward the west; they shall plunder them of the east together; they shall lay their yad upon Edom and Moav; and the Bnei Ammon shall obey them.
15And Hashem shall utterly destroy the leshon Yam Mitzrayim (tongue of the Red Sea); and with His scorchimg Ruach shall He shake His Yad over the Nahar,#11:15 i.e., Euphrates River and shall break it into seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16And there shall be a mesillah (highway) for the she'ar (remnant) of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria; just as it was for Yisroel in the Yom that he came up out of Eretz Mitzrayim.

Isaiah 11
11
A Branch from David’s Line
1Out of the stump of David’s family#11:1 Hebrew the stump of the line of Jesse. Jesse was King David’s father. will grow a shoot—
yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.
2And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3He will delight in obeying the Lord.
He will not judge by appearance
nor make a decision based on hearsay.
4He will give justice to the poor
and make fair decisions for the exploited.
The earth will shake at the force of his word,
and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.
5He will wear righteousness like a belt
and truth like an undergarment.
6In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;
the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.
The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,
and a little child will lead them all.
7The cow will graze near the bear.
The cub and the calf will lie down together.
The lion will eat hay like a cow.
8The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.
Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.
9Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,
for as the waters fill the sea,
so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord.
10In that day the heir to David’s throne#11:10a Hebrew the root of Jesse.
will be a banner of salvation to all the world.
The nations will rally to him,
and the land where he lives will be a glorious place.#11:10b Greek version reads In that day the heir to David’s throne [literally the root of Jesse] will come, / and he will rule over the Gentiles. / They will place their hopes on him. Compare Rom 15:12.
11In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time
to bring back the remnant of his people—
those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt;
in southern Egypt, Ethiopia,#11:11a Hebrew in Pathros, Cush. and Elam;
in Babylonia,#11:11b Hebrew in Shinar. Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
12He will raise a flag among the nations
and assemble the exiles of Israel.
He will gather the scattered people of Judah
from the ends of the earth.
13Then at last the jealousy between Israel#11:13 Hebrew Ephraim, referring to the northern kingdom of Israel. and Judah will end.
They will not be rivals anymore.
14They will join forces to swoop down on Philistia to the west.
Together they will attack and plunder the nations to the east.
They will occupy the lands of Edom and Moab,
and Ammon will obey them.
15The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.#11:15a Hebrew will destroy the tongue of the sea of Egypt.
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,#11:15b Hebrew the river.
sending a mighty wind to divide it into seven streams
so it can easily be crossed on foot.
16He will make a highway for the remnant of his people,
the remnant coming from Assyria,
just as he did for Israel long ago
when they returned from Egypt.
