Isaiah 11:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon that king.
    The Spirit gives him wisdom, understanding, guidance and power.
    And the Spirit teaches him to know and respect the Lord.
³ This king will be glad to obey the Lord.
He will not judge by the way things look.
    He will not judge by what people say.
⁴ He will judge the poor honestly.
    He will be fair in his decisions for the poor people of the land.
At his command evil people will be punished.
    By his words the wicked will be put to death.
