Isaiah 11:1-5

English Standard Version

11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of ^(A)Jesse,
    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
² And ^(B)the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
^(C)He shall not judge by ^(D)what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by ^(E)what his ears hear,
⁴ but ^(F)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ^(G)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and ^(H)with the breath of his lips ^(I)he shall kill the wicked.
⁵ Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
    and ^(J)faithfulness the belt of his loins.
