Isaiah 11
New International Version
The Branch From Jesse
11 A shoot(A) will come up from the stump(B) of Jesse;(C)
from his roots a Branch(D) will bear fruit.(E)
2 The Spirit(F) of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom(G) and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,(H)
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
3 and he will delight in the fear(I) of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,(J)
or decide by what he hears with his ears;(K)
4 but with righteousness(L) he will judge the needy,(M)
with justice(N) he will give decisions for the poor(O) of the earth.
He will strike(P) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(Q)
with the breath(R) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(S)
5 Righteousness will be his belt(T)
and faithfulness(U) the sash around his waist.(V)
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,(W)
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(X)
8 The infant(Y) will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(Z) nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy(AA)
on all my holy mountain,(AB)
for the earth(AC) will be filled with the knowledge(AD) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day(AE) the Root of Jesse(AF) will stand as a banner(AG) for the peoples; the nations(AH) will rally to him,(AI) and his resting place(AJ) will be glorious.(AK) 11 In that day(AL) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(AM) of his people from Assyria,(AN) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(AO) from Cush,[b](AP) from Elam,(AQ) from Babylonia,[c] from Hamath(AR) and from the islands(AS) of the Mediterranean.(AT)
12 He will raise a banner(AU) for the nations
and gather(AV) the exiles of Israel;(AW)
he will assemble the scattered people(AX) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(AY)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[d] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(AZ)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(BA) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(BB)
They will subdue Edom(BC) and Moab,(BD)
and the Ammonites(BE) will be subject to them.(BF)
15 The Lord will dry up(BG)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(BH) he will sweep his hand(BI)
over the Euphrates River.(BJ)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(BK)
16 There will be a highway(BL) for the remnant(BM) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(BN)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(BO)

King James Version
11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And 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;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding 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:
4 But 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.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also 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.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They 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.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And 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 be left, 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.
12 And 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.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Jesaja 11
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Ett skott ur Jishajs stam
11 Ett skott ska växa fram ur Jishajs avhuggna stam,
ett skott ur dess rot ska bära frukt.
2 Herrens Ande ska vila över honom,
visdomens och förståndets Ande,
insiktens och kraftens Ande,
kunskapens och Herrens fruktans Ande.
3 Han har sin glädje i att frukta Herren.
Han dömer inte efter det som ögonen ser,
skipar inte rätt efter det man hör.
4 Han dömer de fattiga i rättfärdighet
och skipar rättvisa åt de förtryckta i landet.
Hans ord är en käpp som slår ner på jorden
och med sin andedräkt förgör han de onda.
5 Rättfärdigheten är hans bälte
och sanningen bär han kring midjan.
6 Då ska vargar bo tillsammans med lamm,
och leoparden ligga bland killingar.
Kalvar, lejon och gödboskap betar tillsammans,
och en liten pojke vallar dem.
7 Kon betar tillsammans med björnen,
deras ungar ligger bredvid varandra,
och lejon äter hö som kor.
8 Småbarn leker vid kobrans håla,
och ett barn sticker handen i ett giftormsbo.
9 Ingenstans på mitt heliga berg
ska man göra något ont eller fördärvligt,
för jorden ska vara full av Herrens kunskap,
så som vattnet fyller havet.
10 Då ska folken söka sig till Jishajs rot, som står som ett banér för alla folk, och den plats där han bor ska vara full av härlighet. 11 Då ska Herren för andra gången räcka ut sin hand för att friköpa resten av sitt folk som är kvar, från Assyrien, Egypten, Patros, Kush, Elam, Shinar, Hamat och länderna utmed kusterna.
12 Han ska resa ett banér för folken
och samla de förskingrade av Israel
och de kringspridda från Juda
från jordens alla ändar.
13 Då ska Efraims avund upphöra
och Judas fiendskap ta slut,
så att Efraim inte mer avundas Juda
och Juda inte mer är fientligt mot Efraim.
14 De ska anfalla filistéernas sluttning i väster
och tillsammans plundra folken i öster.
De ska lägga beslag på Edom och Moab
och lägga under sig ammoniterna.
15 Herren ska låta Egyptens havsvik torka ut,
gripa tag i Eufratfloden genom sin heta vind,
så att den delas i sju småfloder,
som går att ta sig över torrskodd till fots.
16 Det ska finnas en rak väg
för den rest av hans folk
som är kvar från Assyrien,
på samma sätt som för Israels folk
när de kom från Egypten.
