Isaiah 11:1-10 - The Branch's Righteous Reign
1
and a branch
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge
by what He sees with His eyes,
He will not execute justice
by what He hears with His ears,
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with discipline
and He will kill the wicked
with a command
faithfulness will be a belt around His waist.
and the leopard will lie down with the goat.
The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together,
and a child will lead them.
their young ones will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
on My entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.
10
will stand as a banner for the peoples.
The nations will seek Him,
and His resting place will be glorious.
