Then a sprout will come forth from the stump of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

And the Spirit of Jehovah will rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and the fear of Jehovah.

He will delight in the fear of Jehovah: He will neither judge by what His eyes see, Nor decide by what His ears hear.

But He will judge the poor in righteousness, And decide with equity for the afflicted of the land. And He will strike the land with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

Righteousness will be that which girds His loins, And faithfulness will be that which girds His hips.

And the wolf will dwell with the lamb; And the leopard will lie down with the kid, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a young boy will lead them about.

The cow and the bear will graze; Their young will lie down together; And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

The nursing child will play by the cobra's hole, And upon the viper's den The weaned child will stretch his hand.

They will not harm nor destroy In all My holy mountain, For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah, As water covers the sea.

And in that day the root of Jesse, Who stands as a banner to the peoples-Him will the nations seek, And His resting place will be the glory.

And in that day the Lord, By His hand for the second time again, Will recover the remnant of His people Who remain, from Assyria and from Egypt, From Pathros, Cush, and Elam, From Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.

He will lift up a standard to the nations, And will gather the outcasts of Israel; And the dispersed of Judah He will assemble From the four corners of the earth.

And Ephraim's jealousy will depart, And the adversaries in Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, Nor will Judah be hostile to Ephraim.

And they will fly down upon the shoulders of the Philistines on the west; Together they will plunder the children of the east. Edom and Moab will come into the grasp of their hand, And the children of Ammon will submit to them.

And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the sea of Egypt; And will wave His hand over the River with the scorching of His wind, And He will strike it into seven streams, And march men through it dryshod.

And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people which remain, As there was for Israel In the day that they came up from the land of Egypt.
