10 (A)The scepter will not depart from Judah,
Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
[a]Until Shiloh comes,
And (B)to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

  1. Genesis 49:10 Or Until he comes to Shiloh; or Until he comes to whom it belongs

11 even (A)from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and (B)I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that (C)the Lord will make a house for you. 12 (D)When your days are finished and you [a](E)lie down with your fathers, (F)I will raise up your [b]descendant after you, who will come from [c]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (G)He shall build a house for My name, and (H)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (I)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (J)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, 15 but My favor shall not depart from him, (K)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (L)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [d]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”

Righteous Reign of the Branch

11 Then a (A)shoot will spring from the (B)stem of Jesse,
And a (C)Branch from (D)his roots will bear fruit.
The (E)Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of (F)wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and (G)strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes (H)see,
Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
But with (I)righteousness He will judge the (J)poor,
And decide with fairness for the (K)humble of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the (L)rod of His mouth,
And with the (M)breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Also (N)righteousness will be the belt around His hips,
And (O)faithfulness the belt around His waist.

“Behold, the (A)days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous [a](B)Branch;
And He will (C)reign as king and [b]act wisely
And (D)do justice and righteousness in the land.
In His days Judah will be saved,
And (E)Israel will live securely;
And this is His (F)name by which He will be called,
‘The (G)Lord Our Righteousness.’
