Chapter 11

Isaiah · Prophet Isaiah

¹ And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root: ² and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him; ³ the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report: ⁴ but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one. ⁵ And he shall have his loins girded with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.

Isa 11:1-5

⁶ And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them. ⁷ And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. ⁸ And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps. ⁹ And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy anyone on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas. ¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious. ¹¹ And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again show his hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia. ¹² And he shall lift up a standard for the nations, and he shall gather the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. ¹³ And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Judah shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not afflict Ephraim. ¹⁴ And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Edom: and they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall first obey [them].

Isa 11:6-14

¹⁵ And the Lord shall make desolate the Sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall smite the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod. ¹⁶ And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt.
