⁵ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David^[a] a righteous Branch,^(A)
a King^(B) who will reign^(C) wisely
    and do what is just and right^(D) in the land.
⁶ In his days Judah will be saved
    and Israel will live in safety.^(E)
This is the name^(F) by which he will be called:
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.^(G)

“The Root of Jesse^(A) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”^[a](B)

⁹ You are a lion’s^(A) cub,^(B) Judah;^(C)
    you return from the prey,^(D) my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
    like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
¹⁰ The scepter will not depart from Judah,^(E)
    nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,^[a]
until he to whom it belongs^[b] shall come^(F)
    and the obedience of the nations shall be his.^(G)
