11.2
ISAIAH
- The spirit of counsel and might,
- The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
- 3And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord;
- And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
- Neither decide after the hearing of his ears;
- 4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
- And decide with equity for the meek of the land;
- And he shall smite the land with the rod of his mouth,
- And with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
- 5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,
- And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
- 6And the wolf 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.
- 7And the cow and the bear feed;
- Their young ones shall lie down together;
- And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
- 8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,
- And the weaned child shall put his hand on the basilisk's den.
- 9They shall not hurt nor destroy
- In all My holy mountain;
- For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,
- As the waters cover the sea.
- 10And it shall come to pass in that day,
- That the root of Jesse, that standeth for an ensign of the peoples,
- Unto him shall the nations seek;
- And his resting-place shall be glorious.
- 11And it shall come to pass in that day,
- That the Lord will set His hand again the second time
- To recover the remnant of His people,
- That shall remain 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.
- 12And He will set up an ensign for the nations,
- And will assemble the dispersed of Israel,
- And gather together the scattered of Judah
- From the four corners of the earth.
- 13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,
- And they that harass Judah shall be cut off;
- Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
- And Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
- 14And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west;
- Together shall they spoil the children of the east;
- They shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab;
- And the children of Ammon shall obey them.
- 15And the Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea;
- And with His scorching wind will He shake His hand over the River,
- And will smite it into seven streams,
- And cause men to march over dryshod.
- 16And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people,
