King James VersionIsaiah11

Isaiah

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And 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; 3 And shall make him of quick un­der­stand­ing in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge af­ter the sight of his eyes, nei­ther re­prove af­ter the hear­ing of his ears: 4 But with righ­teous­ness shall he judge the poor, and re­prove with eq­ui­ty for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righ­teous­ness shall be the gir­dle of his loins, and faith­ful­ness the gir­dle of his reins. 6 The 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 to­geth­er; and a lit­tle child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down to­geth­er: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the suck­ing child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cock­a­trice' den. 9 They shall not hurt nor de­stroy in all my holy moun­tain: for the earth shall be full of the knowl­edge of the LORD, as the wa­ters cov­er the sea. 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an en­sign of the peo­ple; to it shall the Gen­tiles seek: and his rest shall be glo­ri­ous. 11 And it 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, which shall be left, from As­syr­ia, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shi­nar, and from Hamath, and from the is­lands of the sea. 12 And he shall set up an en­sign for the na­tions, and shall as­sem­ble the out­casts of Is­rael, and gath­er to­geth­er the dis­persed of Ju­dah from the four cor­ners of the earth. 13 The envy also of Ephraim shall de­part, and the ad­ver­saries of Ju­dah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Ju­dah, and Ju­dah shall not vex Ephraim. 14 But they shall fly upon the shoul­ders of the Philistines to­ward the west; they shall spoil them of the east to­geth­er: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the chil­dren of Am­mon shall obey them. 15 And the LORD shall ut­ter­ly de­stroy the tongue of the Egyp­tian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the riv­er, and shall smite it in the sev­en streams, and make men go over dryshod. 16 And there shall be an high­way for the rem­nant of his peo­ple, which shall be left, from As­syr­ia; like as it was to Is­rael in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
