11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of
the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root:
11:2 and the Spirit of Elohim shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge
and godliness shall fill him;
11:3 the spirit of the fear of Elohim. He shall not judge according to
appearance, nor reprove according to report:
11:4 but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly
of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and
with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one.
11:5 And he shall have his loins girt with righteousness, and his sides
clothed with truth.
11:6 And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and
a little child shall lead them.
11:7 And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
11:8 And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest
of young asps.
11:9 And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any
one on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge
of Yehovah, as much water covers the seas.
11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall
arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his
rest shall be glorious.
11:11 And it shall be in that day, [that] Yehovah shall again shew his
hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall
be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of
Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of
the sun, and out of Arabia.
11:12 And he shall lift up a standard or the nations, and he shall gather
the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Judah from the
four corners of the earth.
11:13 And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Judah
shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not afflict
Ephraim.
11:14 And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the
same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Idumea: and
they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall
first obey [them]
11:15 And Yehovah shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay
his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall smite the seven
channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.
11:16 And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and
it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of
Egypt. |
11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of
the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
11:2 And the spirit of Yehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of Yehovah;
11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of Yehovah: and
he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity
for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his
mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and
a little child shall lead them.
11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned
child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of Yehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for
an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall
be glorious.
11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yehovah shall set his
hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall
be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and
from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the
sea.
11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the
outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four
corners of the earth.
11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah
shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex
Ephraim.
11:14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the
west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand
upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
11:15 And Yehovah shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and
with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite
it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which
shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he
came up out of the land of Egypt. |
