11 Then a ^(A)shoot will spring from the ^(B)stem of Jesse,
And a ^(C)branch from ^(D)his roots will bear fruit.
² The ^(E)Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of ^(F)wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and ^(G)strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes ^(H)see,
Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
⁴ But with ^(I)righteousness He will judge the ^(J)poor,
And decide with fairness for the ^(K)afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the ^(L)rod of His mouth,
And with the ^(M)breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
⁵ Also ^(N)righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And ^(O)faithfulness the belt about His waist.

⁵ “Behold, the ^(A)days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous ^[a](B)Branch;
And He will ^(C)reign as king and ^[b]act wisely
And ^(D)do justice and righteousness in the land.
⁶ “In His days Judah will be saved,
And ^(E)Israel will dwell securely;
And this is His ^(F)name by which He will be called,
‘The ^(G)Lord our righteousness.’
