the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.

or decide disputes by (D)what his ears hear,
4 but (E)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall (F)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
