Isaiah 11
11
1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Yishai [I possess], and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2And the Spirit of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate);
3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the meek of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his hips.
6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling (fat cattle) together; and a little child shall lead them.
7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp (cobra), and the weaned child shall put his hand on the Cockatrice (venomous snake)’ (viper’s) nest.
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as the waters cover the sea.
10And in that day there shall be a root of Yishai [I possess], which shall stand for an flag (or banner; as of an army) of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his resting place shall be glorious.
11And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and from Patros [region of the south], and from Cush (Ethiopia) [black], and from ‘Eilam [eternity], and from Shin’ar [country of two rivers], and from Hamat [Fortress], and from the islands of the sea.
12And he shall set up an flag (or banner; as of an army) for the Goyim, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and gather together the dispersed of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] from the four corners of the earth.
13The jealousy also of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall depart, and the adversaries of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall be cut off: Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] shall not envy Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall not provoke Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].
14But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] toward the west; they shall spoil (plunder; prey; booty) them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom [Red] and Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; and the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] shall obey them.
15And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall utterly destroy the tongue (gulf) of the Mitzri [Egyptian] sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dry-shod.
16And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))); like as it was to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the day that he came up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

Isaiah 11
11
Reign of the Davidic King
1Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,#Is 9:7; 11:10; Ac 13:23
and a branch#Is 14:19; 60:21; Jr 23:5; 33:15; Dn 11:7; Zch 3:8; 6:12 from his roots will bear fruit.
2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him#Is 42:1; 48:16; 61:1; Mt 3:16; Jn 1:32 —
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
3His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge
by what he sees with his eyes,#Jn 2:25; 7:24
he will not execute justice
by what he hears with his ears,
4but he will judge the poor righteously#Ps 72:2,13–14; Is 3:14
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with a scepter#11:4 Lit the rod from his mouth,#Ps 2:9; Is 49:2; Mal 4:6; Rv 1:16; 19:15
and he will kill the wicked#Gn 18:25; Ps 139:19; Ezk 3:18–19; 18:20–24; 33:8–15
with a command#11:4 Lit with the breath from his lips.#Jb 4:9; Is 30:28,33; 2Th 2:8
5Righteousness will be a belt around his hips;#Eph 6:14
faithfulness will be a belt around his waist.
6The wolf will dwell with the lamb,#Is 65:25; Jr 5:6; Hs 2:18; 13:6–9
and the leopard will lie down with the goat.
The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf will be together,
and a child will lead them.
7The cow and the bear will graze,
their young ones will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like cattle.
8An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit,
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
9They will not harm or destroy each other
on my entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.#Ps 98:2–3; Is 45:6; 52:10; 66:18–23; Hab 2:14
Israel Regathered
10On that day the root of Jesse#Is 11:1
will stand as a banner for the peoples.#Is 49:22; 62:10; Jn 3:14–15; 12:32
The nations will look to him for guidance,#Rm 15:12; Rv 5:5
and his resting place will be glorious.#Is 14:3; 28:12; 32:17–18
11On that day#Is 27:12 the Lord will extend his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people who survive — from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west.#Is 10:20–22; 37:4,31–32; 46:3
12He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;#Is 56:8; Zph 3:10; Zch 10:6
he will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.#Rv 7:1; 20:8
13Ephraim’s envy will cease;#Is 9:21; Jr 3:18; Ezk 37:16–17,22; Hs 1:11
Judah’s harassing will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14But they will swoop down
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.#Jr 49:28
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.#Ps 60:8; 83:6
15The Lord will divide#11:15 Text emended; MT reads destroy#11:15 Or dry up the Gulf of Suez.#11:15 Lit the Sea of Egypt
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates
with his mighty wind#Is 7:20; 8:7; Rv 16:12
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16There will be a highway for the remnant of his people
who will survive from Assyria,#Is 19:23; 35:8; 40:3; 62:10
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.#Ex 14:26–29
