Isaiah 11
The Righteous Reign of
the Branch of Jesse |
| 1 |
And there shall come forth a rod out of
the stem of Jesse, and a Branch Mt. 2.23 shall grow out of his roots: Rev. 5.5 ; 22.16
|
| 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. 2.8
|
| 5 |
And righteousness shall be the girdle of
his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. Eph. 6.14
|
| 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: Is. 65.25 for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Hab. 2.14
|
| 10 |
And in that day there shall be a root
of Jesse, Rom. 15.12 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 E'phra-im shall depart,
and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: E'phra-im shall not
envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex E'phra-im.
|
| 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 dry-shod. Rev.
16.12
|
| 16 |
And there shall be a 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.
