‏ Isaiah 11

Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 Then a ^ashoot will spring from the ^bstem of Jesse,
And a ^cbranch from ^dhis roots will bear fruit.
2 The ^eSpirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of ^fwisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and ^gstrength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes ^hsee,
Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
4 But with ⁱrighteousness He will judge the ^jpoor,
And decide with fairness for the ^kafflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the ^lrod of His mouth,
And with the ^mbreath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
5 Also ⁿrighteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And ^ofaithfulness the belt about His waist.

6 And the ^pwolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion ^{▼▼ Some versions read will feed together}and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them.
7 Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the ^rlion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9 They will ^snot hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the ^tearth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

10 Then in that day
The ^unations will resort to the ^vroot of Jesse,
Who will stand as a ^{▼▼ Or standard
,} ^xsignal for the peoples;
And His ^yresting place will be ^{▼▼ Lit glory}glorious.

The Restored Remnant

11 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
Will again recover the second time with His hand
The ^aaremnant of His people, who will remain,
From ^abAssyria, ^acEgypt, Pathros, Cush, ^adElam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the ^{▼▼ Or coastlands
,} ^afislands of the sea.
12 And He will lift up a ^agstandard for the nations
And ^ahassemble the banished ones of Israel,
And will gather the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13 Then the ^aijealousy of Ephraim will depart,
And those who harass Judah will be cut off;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
And Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 They will ^ajswoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the ^akwest;
Together they will ^alplunder the sons of the east;
^{▼▼ Lit Edom and Moab will be the outstretching of their hand}They will possess ^anEdom and ^aoMoab,
And the sons of Ammon will be ^{▼▼ Lit their obedience}subject to them.
15 And the Lord will ^{▼▼ Another reading is dry up the tongue
,} ^arutterly destroy
The tongue of the ^{▼▼ Perhaps the Red Sea}Sea of Egypt;
And He will ^atwave His hand over the ^{▼▼ I.e. Euphrates
,} ^avRiver
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make men walk over ^{▼▼ Lit in sandals}dry-shod.
16 And there will be a ^axhighway from Assyria
For the ^ayremnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
In ^azthe day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
