11 And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
² And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him—
    a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    a spirit of counsel and might,
    a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
³     And his breath^[a] is in the fear of Yahweh.
And he shall judge not by his eyesight,
    and he shall rebuke not by what he hears with^[b] his ears.
⁴ But he shall judge the poor with righteousness,
    and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude.
And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.
⁵ And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt around his loins.

32 See, a king will rule according to righteousness,
    and princes will rule according to justice.

² And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind
    and a covering from the rainstorm,
like streams of water in a dry region,
    like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

² May he judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice.
