Isaiah 11

Revised Geneva Translation

11 But there shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse. And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

² And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him—the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge, and of the fear of the LORD—

³ and shall make Him prudent in the fear of the LORD. For He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, nor rebuke by the hearing of His ears.

⁴ But with righteousness, He shall judge the lowly. And with equality, He shall rebuke for the poor of the Earth. And He shall strike the Earth with the rod of His Mouth. And with the Breath of His Lips shall He slay the wicked.

⁵ And justice shall be the belt of His loins, and faithfulness the belt of His reins.

⁶ The wolf, also, shall dwell with the lamb. And the leopard shall lie with the kid and the calf and the lion and the fat beast, together. And a little child shall lead them.

⁷ And the cow and the bear shall feed. Their young ones shall lie together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

⁸ And the sucking child shall play upon the hole of the asp. And the weaned child shall put his hand upon the viper’s hole.

⁹ Then shall no one hurt or destroy in all the mountain of My Holiness. For the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters that cover the sea.

¹⁰ And on that day the Root of Jesse which shall stand up for a sign to the people, the nations shall seek It. And His rest shall be glorious.

¹¹ And on the same day the LORD shall stretch out His Hand again a second time, to possess the remnant of His people who shall be left: of Assyria and of Egypt and of Pathros and of Ethiopia and of Elam and of Shinar and of Hamath and of the isles of the sea.

¹² And He shall set up a sign to the Nations, and assemble the dispersed of Israel, and gather the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the world.

¹³ The hatred, also, of Ephraim shall depart. And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off. Ephraim shall not envy Judah, nor shall Judah trouble Ephraim.

¹⁴ But they shall flee upon the shoulders of the Philistines, toward the West. They shall spoil those of the East together. They shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab and hear the children of Ammon.

¹⁵ The LORD, also, shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian’s sea. And with His mighty wind He shall lift up His Hand over the river, and shall strike him in seven streams, and cause men to walk with shoes.

¹⁶ And there shall be a path to the remnant of His people who are left in Assyria, like it was to Israel on the day that He came up out of the land of Egypt.
