Isaiah 11:1-7 (ESV)1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his rootsshall bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdomand understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and thefear of the Lord. 3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge bywhat his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, 4 but with righteousnesshe shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shallstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall killthe wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt ofhis loins. 6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with theyoung goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little childshall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together;and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
