Isaiah 11
11
The Righteous Reign of the Branch
1There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of #ver. 10; Acts 13:23Jesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2And #ch. 61:1; Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
# [John 7:24] He shall not judge by #[Eccles. 1:8]what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by #[Eccles. 1:8]what his ears hear,
4but #Ps. 72:2, 4 with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall #Ps. 2:9; [Mal. 4:6] strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and #Job 4:9; 2 Thess. 2:8 with the breath of his lips #Ps. 139:19he shall kill the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and #[Eph. 6:14]faithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 # ch. 65:25; [Hos. 2:18] The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
9 # [See ver. 6 above] They shall not hurt or destroy
in all #Ps. 78:54 my holy mountain;
#
Hab. 2:14
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10In that day #Cited Rom. 15:12 the root of #ver. 1 Jesse, who shall stand as #ch. 49:22; [Ex. 17:15]a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
11 # ch. 10:20 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, #ch. 27:13; Mic. 7:12; Zech. 10:10 from Assyria, #ch. 27:13; Mic. 7:12; Zech. 10:10 from Egypt, from #Jer. 44:1, 15; Ezek. 29:14; 30:14 Pathros, from #See Gen. 10:6-12 Cush,#11:11 Probably Nubia from #Gen. 10:22; 14:1, 9; Jer. 25:25; See Jer. 49:34-39 Elam, from #Gen. 11:2 Shinar, from #See ch. 10:9 Hamath, and from #Esth. 10:1the coastlands of the sea.
12He will raise #[See ver. 10 above] a signal for the nations
and will assemble #ch. 56:8; [Zech. 10:6]the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
13 #
Ezek. 37:16, 17; [ch. 9:21; Zech. 11:14] The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 # [2 Sam. 8:1; 2 Kgs. 18:8] But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
and together they shall plunder #Judg. 6:3; See Jer. 49:28 the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand #Ps. 60:8 against #[2 Sam. 8:14] Edom and #[2 Sam. 8:2] Moab,
and #See 2 Sam. 12:26-31the Ammonites shall obey them.
15And the Lord will utterly destroy#11:15 Hebrew devote to destruction
# [Zech. 10:11] the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over #See ch. 7:20the River#11:15 That is, the Euphrates
with his scorching breath,#11:15 Or wind
and strike it into seven channels,
and he will lead people across in sandals.
16And there will be #ch. 19:23; [ch. 35:8] a highway from Assyria
for the remnant that remains of his people,
#
Ex. 14:29
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 11
11
1And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit: 2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, 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 reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth 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 shall 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, which 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 shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which 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 shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and they that vex 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 shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind shall he shake his hand over the River, and shall smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dryshod. 16And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall remain, from Assyria; like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
