¹ There shall come forth a netzer out of the stock of Yishai, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. ² The Spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. ³ His delight shall be in the fear of the LORD; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; ⁴ but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the eretz; and he shall strike the eretz with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked. ⁵ Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. ⁶ The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. ⁷ The cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. ⁸ The sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. ⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the eretz shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰ It shall happen in that day, that the root of Yishai, who stands for an ensign of the peoples, to him shall the nations seek; and his resting-place shall be glorious. ¹¹ It shall happen in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Ashshur, and from Mitzrayim, and from Patros, and from Kush, and from `Elam, and from Shin`ar, and from Hamat, and from the islands of the sea. ¹² He will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Yisra'el, and gather together the dispersed of Yehudah from the four corners of the eretz. ¹³ The envy also of Efrayim shall depart, and those who vex Yehudah shall be cut off: Efrayim shall not envy Yehudah, and Yehudah shall not vex Efrayim. ¹⁴ They shall fly down on the shoulder of the Pelishtim on the west; together shall they despoil the children of the east: they shall put forth their hand on Edom and Mo'av; and the children of `Ammon shall obey them. ¹⁵ The LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Mitzrian sea; and with his scorching wind will he wave his hand over the River, and will strike it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals. ¹⁶ There shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Ashshur; like as there was for Yisra'el in the day that he came up out of the land of Mitzrayim.
