Reinado justo del Mesías

11 Saldrá una vara del tronco de Isaí;
un vástago retoñará de sus raíces
y reposará sobre él el espíritu de Jehová:
espíritu de sabiduría y de inteligencia,
espíritu de consejo y de poder,
espíritu de conocimiento y de temor de Jehová.
Y le hará entender diligente en el temor de Jehová.
No juzgará según la vista de sus ojos
ni resolverá por lo que oigan sus oídos,
sino que juzgará con justicia a los pobres
y resolverá con equidad a favor de los mansos de la tierra.
Herirá la tierra con la vara de su boca
y con el espíritu de sus labios matará al impío.
Y será la justicia cinto de sus caderas,
y la fidelidad ceñirá su cintura.

Morará el lobo con el cordero,
y el leopardo con el cabrito se acostará;
el becerro, el león y la bestia doméstica andarán juntos,
y un niño los pastoreará.
La vaca pacerá junto a la osa,
sus crías se recostarán juntas;
y el león, como el buey, comerá paja.
El niño de pecho jugará
sobre la cueva de la cobra;
el recién destetado extenderá su mano
sobre la caverna de la víbora.
No harán mal ni dañarán
en todo mi santo monte,
porque la tierra será llena del conocimiento de Jehová,
como las aguas cubren el mar.

10 Acontecerá en aquel tiempo que la raíz de Isaí,
la cual estará puesta por pendón a los pueblos,
será buscada por las gentes;
y su habitación será gloriosa.
11 Asimismo, acontecerá en aquel tiempo
que Jehová alzará otra vez su mano
para recobrar el resto de su pueblo
que aún quede en Asiria, Egipto,
Patros, Etiopía, Elam, Sinar y Hamat,
y en las costas del mar.
12 Levantará pendón a las naciones,
juntará los desterrados de Israel
y desde los cuatro confines de la tierra
reunirá a los esparcidos de Judá.
13 Se disipará la envidia de Efraín
y los enemigos de Judá serán destruidos.
Efraín no tendrá envidia de Judá,
ni Judá afligirá a Efraín,
14 sino que se lanzarán contra los filisteos
al occidente,
y saquearán también a los de oriente.
Edom y Moab los servirán,
y los hijos de Amón los obedecerán.
15 Secará Jehová la lengua del mar de Egipto
y con el poder de su aliento levantará su mano
sobre el río;
lo herirá en sus siete brazos
y hará que pasen por él con sandalias.
16 Y habrá camino para el resto de su pueblo,
el que quedó de Asiria,
de la manera que lo hubo para Israel
el día que subió de la tierra de Egipto.

Reign of the Davidic King

11 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,(A)
and a branch(B) from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him(C)
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge
by what He sees with His eyes,(D)
He will not execute justice
by what He hears with His ears,
but He will judge the poor righteously(E)
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with discipline[a] from His mouth,(F)
and He will kill the wicked(G)
with a command[b] from His lips.(H)
Righteousness will be a belt around His loins;(I)
faithfulness will be a belt around His waist.(J)
The wolf will live with the lamb,(K)
and the leopard will lie down with the goat.
The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together,
and a child will lead them.
The cow and the bear will graze,
their young ones will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit,
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
None will harm or destroy another
on My entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.(L)

Israel Regathered

10 On that day the root of Jesse(M)
will stand as a banner for the peoples.(N)
The nations will seek Him,(O)
and His resting place will be glorious.(P)

11 On that day(Q) the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west—the remnant of His people who survive.(R)

12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;(S)
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(T)
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(U)
Judah’s harassment will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 But they will swoop down
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.(V)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(W)
15 The Lord will divide[c][d] the Gulf of Suez.[e]
He will wave His hand over the Euphrates
with His mighty wind(X)
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
who will survive from Assyria,(Y)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(Z)

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)
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
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)
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)
Righteousness will be his belt(T)
    and faithfulness(U) the sash around his waist.(V)

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