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
The LORD’s Kingdom Will Be Ruled by a Shoot from Jesse’s Stump
1Then a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
2The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of advice and power,
the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
3He will gladly bear the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what his eyes see
or decide by what his ears hear.
4He will judge the poor justly.
He will make fair decisions for the humble people on earth.
He will strike the earth with a rod from his mouth.
He will kill the wicked with the breath from his lips.
5Justice will be the belt around his waist.
Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips.
6Wolves will live with lambs.
Leopards will lie down with goats.
Calves, young lions, and year-old lambs will be together,
and little children will lead them.
7Cows and bears will eat together.
Their young will lie down together.
Lions will eat straw like oxen.
8Infants will play near cobras’ holes.
Toddlers will put their hands into vipers’ nests.
9They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain.
The world will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
like water covering the sea.
10At that time the root of Jesse will stand as a banner
for the people ⌞to gather around⌟.
The nations will come to him.
His resting place will be glorious.
11At that time the Lord will use his power again
to recover what remains of his people
in Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt,
Sudan, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath,
and the islands of the sea.
12He will raise a banner for the nations ⌞to gather around⌟.
He will gather the outcasts of Israel
and bring together the scattered people of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
13Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s opponents will come to an end.
Ephraim won’t be jealous of Judah,
and Judah won’t oppose Ephraim.
14They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia in the west.
Together they will loot the people of the east.
They will conquer Edom and Moab.
The people of Ammon will be subject to them.
15The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea.
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River with his scorching wind
and divide it into seven streams
so that people can walk over it in their sandals.
16There will be a highway
for the remaining few of his people left in Assyria
like there was for Israel when it came out of Egypt.
