Isaiah, Chapter 11:

Verses from Isaiah 11 from the Book of Isaiah in the Bible.

The Branch of Jesse

• 1. A branch will arise from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots will sprout a branch.
• 2. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit that gives wisdom and understanding, the Spirit that brings counsel and power, the Spirit that gives knowledge and fear of the Lord.
• 3. And he shall be inspired by the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by appearances, nor will he decide based on what he has heard;
• 4. but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will decide in favor of the poor. With his words, like a staff, he will strike the earth; with the breath of his mouth he will slay the wicked.
• 5. Righteousness shall be the band of his breast, and faithfulness his belt.
• 6. The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the goat, the calf, the lion and the fatted calf shall feed together; and a child will lead them.
• 7. The cow will feed with the bear, her young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
• 8. The little child will play near the snake's hiding place, the child will put his hand in the viper's nest.
• 9. No one will harm or destroy anything on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
• 10. In that day the nations will seek the Root of Jesse, who will be like a banner for the peoples, and his resting place will be glorious.
• 11. On that day the Lord will stretch out his arm a second time to claim the remnant of his people who are left in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Sinear, Hamath and the islands of the sea.
• 12. He will raise a banner for the nations to gather the exiles of Israel; He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
• 13. Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's hostility will be removed; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor will Judah be hostile to Ephraim.
• 14. They will infiltrate the slopes of Philistia to the west; together they will plunder the people of the east. They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
• 15. The LORD will dry up the gulf of the sea of Egypt; with a strong wind he will sweep the Euphrates with his hand and divide it into seven streams, so that one can cross it in sandals.
• 16. There will be a highway for the remnant of your people who are left in Assyria, as there was for Israel when they left Egypt.
