Isaiah 11:4

The Branch's Righteous Reign

³
And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
⁴ 
But with righteousness and justice He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the downtrodden of the earth;
And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
⁵
And righteousness will be the belt around His loins,
And faithfulness the belt around His waist.
