2The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD—

3and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;

4but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

6The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearlingHebrew; Septuagint lion will feed together;
and a little child will lead them.

7The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,
and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest.

9They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.

10In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.11In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,Hebrew from Pathros from Cush,That is, the upper Nile region from Elam, from Babylonia,Hebrew Shinar from Hamath and from the islands of the sea.

12He will raise a banner for the nations
and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.

13Ephraim's jealousy will vanish,
and Judah's enemiesOr hostility will be cut off;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.

16There will be a highway for the remnant of his people
that is left from Assyria,
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.
