Isaiah 11  Modern English Version

³ He shall delight in the fear of the Lord,
    and he shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    nor reprove by what his ears hear;
⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and reprove with fairness for the meek of the earth.
He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
⁵ Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins,
    and faithfulness the belt about his waist.

⁶ The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
⁷ The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young ones shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
⁸ The nursing child shall play by the hole of the asp,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
⁹ They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all My holy mountain,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,
    as the waters cover the sea.

¹² He shall set up a banner for the nations,
    and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.
¹³ The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,
    and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
    and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
¹⁴ But they shall swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines towards the west;
    they shall plunder the sons of the east together;
they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab,
    and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
¹⁵ The Lord shall utterly destroy
    the tongue of the Egyptian sea,
and with His mighty wind He shall shake His hand
    over the River,^[a]
and shall strike it into seven streams,
    and make men walk over dry-shod.
¹⁶ There shall be a highway for the remnant of His people,
    who will be left from Assyria,
as it was for Israel
    when he came up from the land of Egypt.
