Isaiah 11:1-5

Complete Jewish Bible

11 But a branch will emerge from the trunk of Yishai,
a shoot will grow from his roots.
² The Spirit of Adonai will rest on him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and power,
the Spirit of knowledge and fearing Adonai —
³ he will be inspired by fearing Adonai.
He will not judge by what his eyes see
or decide by what his ears hear,
⁴ but he will judge the impoverished justly;
he will decide fairly for the humble of the land.
He will strike the land with a rod from his mouth
and slay the wicked with a breath from his lips.
⁵ Justice will be the belt around his waist,
faithfulness the sash around his hips.
