Isaiah 11 — Legacy Standard Bible

The Judgments of the Branch

11Then a ^ashoot will spring from the ^bstem of Jesse,And a ^cbranch from ^dhis roots will bear fruit.²The ^aSpirit of Yahweh will rest on Him,The spirit of ^bwisdom and understanding,The spirit of counsel and ^cmight,The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.³And He will delight in the fear of Yahweh,And He will not judge by what His eyes ^asee,Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;⁴But with ^arighteousness He will judge the ^bpoor,And decide with uprightness for the ^cafflicted of the earth;And He will strike the earth with the ^drod of His mouth,And with the ^ebreath of His lips He will put the wicked to death.⁵Also ^arighteousness will be the belt about His loins,And ^bfaithfulness the belt about His waist.⁶And the ^awolf will ¹dwell with the lamb,And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,And the calf and the young lion ²and the fatling together;And a young boy will lead them.⁷Also the cow and the bear will graze,Their young will lie down together,And the ^alion will eat straw like the ox.⁸And the nursing baby will play by the hole of the cobra,And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.⁹They will ^ado no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain,For the ^bearth will be full of the knowledge of YahwehAs the waters cover the sea.

A Remnant Remains

¹⁰Then it will be in that day,That the ^anations will seek the ^broot of Jesse,Who will stand as a ¹^,^cstandard for the peoples;And His ^dresting place will be ²glorious.¹¹Then it will be in that day, that the LordWill again acquire the second time with His handThe ^aremnant of His people, who will remain,From ^bAssyria, ^cEgypt, Pathros, ¹Ethiopia, ^dElam, Shinar, Hamath,And from the ^ecoastlands of the sea.¹²And He will lift up a ^astandard for the nationsAnd ^bassemble the banished ones of Israel,And will gather the scattered of JudahFrom the four corners of the earth.¹³Then the ^ajealousy of Ephraim will depart,And those who assail Judah will be cut off;Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,And Judah will not assail Ephraim.¹⁴And they will ^aswoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the ^bwest;Together they will ^cplunder the sons of the east;¹They will stretch out their hands over ^dEdom and ^eMoab,And the sons of Ammon ²will obey them.¹⁵And Yahweh will ^adevote to destructionThe tongue of the ¹Sea of Egypt;And He will ^bwave His hand over the ²^,^cRiverWith His scorching wind;And He will strike it into seven streamsAnd make men walk over ³dry-shod.¹⁶And there will be a ^ahighway from AssyriaFor the ^bremnant of His people who will remain,Just as there was for IsraelIn ^cthe day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
