Isaiah 11:1-3

Common English Bible

11 A shoot will grow up from the stump of Jesse;
    a branch will sprout^[a] from his roots.
² The Lord’s spirit will rest upon him,
    a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    a spirit of planning and strength,
    a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
³ He will delight in fearing the Lord.
He won’t judge by appearances,
    nor decide by hearsay.
