The Spirit(A) of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom(B) and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,(C)
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord
and he will delight in the fear(D) of the Lord.

    or decide by what he hears with his ears;(F)

    with justice(I) he will give decisions for the poor(J) of the earth.
He will strike(K) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(L)
    with the breath(M) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(N)

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:

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.
