Isaiah 11
11
1A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit. 2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord. 3His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears. 4Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairly on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips. 5He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along. 7Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle. 8Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den. 9Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11At that time the Lord will act a second time#11:11. “Second time”: The first time was the exodus from Egypt. to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands. 12He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth. 13Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy. 14Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects. 15The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez;#11:15. “Gulf of Suez”: modern name. Literally, “the tongue of the sea of Egypt.” he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split it into seven streams so that people can cross easily on foot. 16There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.

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.
