Isaiah 11
11
1 And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
3 And he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
4 Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
5 And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior's belt at his side.
6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
7 The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 And a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
9 They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering the sea.
10 In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will be glorious.
11 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he will lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions of the earth.
13 And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against Ephraim.
14 And they will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
15 And the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
16 And there will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.

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
