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)
²The 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—
³and 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)
⁴but 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)
⁵Righteousness will be his belt^(T)
    and faithfulness^(U) the sash around his waist.^(V)

⁶The 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.
⁷The cow will feed with the bear,
    their young will lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.^(X)
⁸The infant^(Y) will play near the cobra’s den,
    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s^(Z) nest.
⁹They 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.

¹⁰In 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) ¹¹In 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)

¹²He 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)
¹³Ephraim’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)
¹⁴They 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)
¹⁵The 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)
¹⁶There 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)

Daniel 2:43-45

New International Version

⁴³And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

⁴⁴“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush^(A) all those kingdoms^(B) and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.^(C) ⁴⁵This is the meaning of the vision of the rock^(D) cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands^(E)—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.^(F) The dream is true^(G) and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

¹³“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,^[a]^(A) coming^(B) with the clouds of heaven.^(C) He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. ¹⁴He was given authority,^(D) glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.^(E) His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom^(F) is one that will never be destroyed.^(G)

Footnotes

Daniel 7:13 The Aramaic phrase bar enash means human being. The phrase son of man is retained here because of its use in the New Testament as a title of Jesus, probably based largely on this verse.

New International Version

¹¹For the grace^(A) of God has appeared^(B) that offers salvation to all people.^(C) ¹²It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions,^(D) and to live self-controlled,^(E) upright and godly lives^(F) in this present age, ¹³while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing^(G) of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,^(H) ¹⁴who gave himself for us^(I) to redeem us from all wickedness^(J) and to purify^(K) for himself a people that are his very own,^(L) eager to do what is good.^(M)
