CHAPTER 11
The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring
The Righteous Reign of the Messiah
(Is. 9:1–7 )
​
1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
​​And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 ​​The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon 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 is in the fear of the LORD,
​​And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
​​Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4 ​​But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
​​And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
​​He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
​​And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5 ​​Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
​​And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
​
6 ​​“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
​​The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
​​The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
​​And a little child shall lead them.
7 ​​The cow and the bear shall graze;
​​Their young ones shall lie down together;
​​And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 ​​The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
​​And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9 ​​They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
​​For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD
​​As the waters cover the sea.
​
10 ​​“And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
​​Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
​​For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
​​And His resting place shall be glorious.”
​
11 ​​It shall come to pass in that day
​​That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
​​To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
​​From Assyria and Egypt,
​​From Pathros and Cush,
​​From Elam and Shinar,
​​From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
​
12 ​​He will set up a banner for the nations,
​​And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
​​And gather together the dispersed of Judah
​​From the four corners of the earth.
13 ​​Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
​​And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
​​Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
​​And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 ​​But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
​​Together they shall plunder the people of the East;
​​They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
​​And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
15 ​​The LORD will utterly destroy[fn] the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
​​With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River,[fn]
​​And strike it in the seven streams,
​​And make men cross over dryshod.
16 ​​There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
​​Who will be left from Assyria,
​​As it was for Israel
​​In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.
