Ett nytt skott
11 Davids kungliga familj ska skäras av och huggas ner som ett träd. Men från den avhuggna roten ska ett skott växa upp, en ny gren från den gamla roten.
2 Herrens Ande ska vila över honom, visdomens, förståndets och kraftens Ande, Herrens kunskaps och fruktans Ande.
3 Hans lust ska vara att lyda Herren. Han ska inte döma efter det som ögonen ser, efter falska bevis eller rykten,
4 utan han ska försvara de fattiga och de som blivit utnyttjade. Han ska döma deras förtryckare.
5 Han ska vara klädd i rättfärdighet och sanning.
6 På den dagen ska varg och lamm vila bredvid varandra, och leoparder och killingar ska umgås i fred. Kalvar och gödboskap ska vara trygga bland lejon, och ett litet barn ska leda dem.
7 Kor ska beta bland björnar, björnungar och kalvar ligga bredvid varandra och lejon äta gräs som kor.
8 Småbarn ska krypa omkring bland giftiga ormar, och om ett av dem sticker handen i ett ormbo, ska det inte skadas.
9 Ingenstans på mitt heliga berg ska man göra något ont eller skadligt, för på samma sätt som vattnet fyller havet, ska jorden vara full av Herrens kunskap.
10 På den dagen ska han som är arvtagaren till kung David vara ett frälsningens banér för hela världen. Folken ska söka sig till honom, för landet där han bor kommer att vara en underbar plats.
11 Då ska Herren föra tillbaka resten av sitt folk för andra gången. De ska återvända till Israels land från Assyrien, Övre och Nedre Egypten, Etiopien, Elam, Babylonien, Hamat och länderna utmed kusterna.
12 För folken ska han resa ett banér att samlas omkring. Han ska samla de förskingrade israeliterna från jordens alla ändar.
13 Då ska äntligen avundsjukan mellan Juda och Israel ta slut, så att de inte längre kommer att ligga i krig med varandra.
14 Tillsammans ska de anfalla de folk som tagit deras land i besittning, filisteerna i väster och i öster de folk som bor där. Med förenade styrkor ska de besegra dem och ockupera Edom, Moab och Ammon.
15 Herren ska låta en torr väg leda genom Röda havet och en het vind blåsa över Eufrat så att den delas i sju småfloder som går att ta sig över till fots.
16 Han ska göra en rak väg från Assyrien för dem som finns kvar där och vill vända tillbaka hem därifrån, på samma sätt som han gjorde för länge sedan, när Israel vände tillbaka från Egypten.

The Branch From Jesse
11 A shoot(A) will come up from the stump(B) of Jesse;(C)
from his roots a Branch(D) will bear fruit.(E)
2 The Spirit(F) of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom(G) and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,(H)
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
3 and he will delight in the fear(I) of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,(J)
or decide by what he hears with his ears;(K)
4 but with righteousness(L) he will judge the needy,(M)
with justice(N) he will give decisions for the poor(O) of the earth.
He will strike(P) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(Q)
with the breath(R) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(S)
5 Righteousness will be his belt(T)
and faithfulness(U) the sash around his waist.(V)
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,(W)
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(X)
8 The infant(Y) will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(Z) nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy(AA)
on all my holy mountain,(AB)
for the earth(AC) will be filled with the knowledge(AD) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day(AE) the Root of Jesse(AF) will stand as a banner(AG) for the peoples; the nations(AH) will rally to him,(AI) and his resting place(AJ) will be glorious.(AK) 11 In that day(AL) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(AM) of his people from Assyria,(AN) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(AO) from Cush,[b](AP) from Elam,(AQ) from Babylonia,[c] from Hamath(AR) and from the islands(AS) of the Mediterranean.(AT)
12 He will raise a banner(AU) for the nations
and gather(AV) the exiles of Israel;(AW)
he will assemble the scattered people(AX) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(AY)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[d] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(AZ)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(BA) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(BB)
They will subdue Edom(BC) and Moab,(BD)
and the Ammonites(BE) will be subject to them.(BF)
15 The Lord will dry up(BG)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(BH) he will sweep his hand(BI)
over the Euphrates River.(BJ)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(BK)
16 There will be a highway(BL) for the remnant(BM) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(BN)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(BO)

The King of Peace Is Coming
11 A small tree[a] will begin to grow from the stump of Jesse.[b] That branch will grow from Jesse’s roots. 2 The Lord’s Spirit will always be with that new king to give him wisdom, understanding, guidance, and power. The Spirit will help him know and respect the Lord. 3 He will find joy in obeying the Lord.
This king will not judge people by the way things look. He will not judge by listening to rumors. 4-5 He will judge the poor fairly and honestly. He will be fair when he decides what to do for the poor of the land. If he decides people should be beaten, he will give the command, and they will be beaten. If he decides people must die, he will give the command, and those evil people will be killed. Goodness and fairness will be like a belt he wears around his waist.
6 Then wolves will live at peace with lambs, and leopards will lie down in peace with young goats. Calves, lions, and bulls will all live together in peace. A little child will lead them. 7 Bears and cattle will eat together in peace, and all their young will lie down together and will not hurt each other. Lions will eat hay like cattle. 8 Even snakes will not hurt people. Babies will be able to play near a cobra’s[c] hole and put their hands into the nest of a poisonous snake.
9 People will stop hurting each other. People on my holy mountain will not want to destroy things because they will know the Lord. The world will be full of knowledge about him, like the sea is full of water.
10 At that time there will be someone special from Jesse’s family. He will be like a flag that all the nations gather around. The nations will come to him and ask him what they should do. And the place where he is will be filled with glory.
11 At that time the Lord will again reach out and take his people who are left in countries like Assyria, North Egypt, South Egypt, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and other faraway countries around the world. 12 He will gather the people of Israel and Judah who were forced to leave their country. They were scattered to all the faraway places on earth. But he will raise the flag as a sign for the other nations, and he will gather his people together again.
13 Then Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will have no enemies left. And Judah will not cause trouble for Ephraim. 14 But Ephraim and Judah will attack the Philistines. These two nations will be like birds flying down to catch a small animal. Together, they will take the riches from the people in the East.[d] Ephraim and Judah will control Edom, Moab, and the people in Ammon.[e]
15 Just as the Lord divided the Red Sea near Egypt,[f] he will raise his arm in anger over the Euphrates River and hit it. It will divide into seven small rivers. They will be so small that the people can walk across with their sandals on. 16 Then God’s people who are left in Assyria will have a way to leave. It will be just like the time God took the people out of Egypt.
