Isaiah 11:1-5

International Standard Version

11 “A shoot will come out
    from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch will bear fruit
    from his roots.
² The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and power,
    the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
³ His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.
    He won’t judge by what his eyes see,
        nor decide disputes by what his ears hear,
⁴ but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
    and decide with equity for^[a] earth’s poor.^[b]
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,^[c]
    and the wicked will be killed^[d] with the breath of his lips.
⁵ Righteousness will be the sash around his loins,
    and faithfulness the belt around his waist.”
