Isaiah 11:2-4

New International Reader's Version

He will not judge things only by the way they look.
    He won’t make decisions based simply on what people say.
⁴ He will always do what is right
    when he judges those who are in need.
He’ll be completely fair
    when he makes decisions about poor people.
When he commands that people be punished,
    it will happen.
When he orders that evil people be put to death,
    it will take place.
