1And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.
2And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3And he will not be guided in his judging by what he sees, or give decisions by the hearing of his ears:
4But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
5And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.
6And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.
7And the cow and the bear will be friends while their young ones are sleeping together.
