Isaiah 11

The Judgments of the Branch

1Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,

And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

2The Spirit of Yahweh will rest on Him,

The spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The spirit of counsel and might,

The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.

3And He will delight in the fear of Yahweh,

And He will not judge by what His eyes see,

Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;

4But with righteousness He will judge the poor,

And decide with uprightness for the afflicted of the earth;

And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

And with the breath of His lips He will put the wicked to death.

5Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins,

And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

6¶And the wolf will #11:6 Lit sojourndwell with the lamb,

And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,

And the calf and the young lion #11:6 Some versions will feed togetherand the fatling together;

And a young boy will lead them.

7Also the cow and the bear will graze,

Their young will lie down together,

And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8And the nursing baby will play by the hole of the cobra,

And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

9They will do no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain,

For the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh

As the waters cover the sea.

A Remnant Remains

10¶Then it will be in that day,

That the nations will seek the root of Jesse,

Who will stand as a #11:10 Or signalstandard for the peoples;

And His resting place will be #11:10 Lit gloryglorious.

11¶Then it will be in that day, that the Lord

Will again acquire the second time with His hand

The remnant of His people, who will remain,

From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, #11:11 Or Cush, cf. Gen 10:6Ethiopia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,

And from the coastlands of the sea.

12And He will lift up a standard for the nations

And assemble the banished ones of Israel,

And will gather the scattered of Judah

From the four corners of the earth.

13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart,

And those who assail Judah will be cut off;

Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,

And Judah will not assail Ephraim.

14And they will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;

Together they will plunder the sons of the east;

# 11:14 Lit Edom and Moab will be the outstretching of their hand They will stretch out their hands over Edom and Moab,

And the sons of Ammon #11:14 Lit their obediencewill obey them.

15And Yahweh will devote to destruction

The tongue of the #11:15 Possibly the Red SeaSea of Egypt;

And He will wave His hand over the #11:15 The Euphrates RiverRiver

With His scorching wind;

And He will strike it into seven streams

And make men walk over #11:15 Lit in sandalsdry-shod.

16And there will be a highway from Assyria

For the remnant of His people who will remain,

Just as there was for Israel

In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 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.
