Isaiah 11

Righteous Reign of the Branch

1Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,

And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,

The spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The spirit of counsel and strength,

The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

3And 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;

4But with righteousness He will judge the poor,

And decide with fairness for the humble of the earth;

And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

5Also righteousness will be the belt around His hips,

And faithfulness the belt around His waist.

6¶And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,

And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,

And the calf and the young lion #11:6 Some ancient versions will feed togetherand the fattened steer will be together;

And a little boy will lead them.

7Also the cow and the bear will graze,

Their young will lie down together,

And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,

And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

9They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,

For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord

As the waters cover the sea.

10¶Then on that day

The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,

Who will stand as a signal flag for the peoples;

And His resting place will be #11:10 Lit gloryglorious.

The Restored Remnant

11¶Then it will happen on that day that the Lord

Will again recover with His hand the second time

The remnant of His people who will remain,

From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,

And from the #11:11 Or coastlandsislands of the sea.

12And He will lift up a flag for the nations

And assemble the banished ones of Israel,

And will gather the dispersed of Judah

From the four corners of the earth.

13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart,

And those who harass Judah will be eliminated;

Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,

And Judah will not harass Ephraim.

14They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;

Together they will plunder the #11:14 Lit sonspeople of the east;

# 11:14 Lit Edom and Moab will be the outstretching of their hand They will possess Edom and Moab,

And the sons of Ammon will be #11:14 Lit their obediencesubject to them.

15And the Lord will #11:15 Another reading is dry up the tongueutterly destroy

The tongue of the #11:15 Perhaps the Red SeaSea of Egypt;

And He will wave His hand over the Euphrates River

With His scorching wind;

And He will strike it into seven streams

And make people walk over in dry sandals.

16And there will be a highway from Assyria

For the remnant of His people who will be left,

Just as there was for Israel

On the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 11

The Branch From Jesse

1A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;

from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—

the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and of might,

the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—

3and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,

or decide by what he hears with his ears;

4but with righteousness he will judge the needy,

with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.

He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;

with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5Righteousness will be his belt

and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

6The wolf will live with the lamb,

the leopard will lie down with the goat,

the calf and the lion and the yearling#11:6 Hebrew; Septuagint lion will feed together;

and a little child will lead them.

7The cow will feed with the bear,

their young will lie down together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8The infant will play near the cobra’s den,

and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.

9They will neither harm nor destroy

on all my holy mountain,

for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord

as the waters cover the sea.

10In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious. 11In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush,#11:11 That is, the upper Nile region from Elam, from Babylonia,#11:11 Hebrew Shinar from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

12He will raise a banner for the nations

and gather the exiles of Israel;

he will assemble the scattered people of Judah

from the four quarters of the earth.

13Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,

and Judah’s enemies#11:13 Or hostility will be destroyed;

Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,

nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.

14They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west;

together they will plunder the people to the east.

They will subdue Edom and Moab,

and the Ammonites will be subject to them.

15The Lord will dry up

the gulf of the Egyptian sea;

with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand

over the Euphrates River.

He will break it up into seven streams

so that anyone can cross over in sandals.

16There will be a highway for the remnant of his people

that is left from Assyria,

as there was for Israel

when they came up from Egypt.
