Isaiah 11:2–9

²The ^aSpirit of the Lord will rest on Him,

The spirit of ^bwisdom and understanding,

The spirit of counsel and ^cstrength,

The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

³And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,

And He will not judge by what His eyes ^asee,

Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

⁴But with ^arighteousness He will judge the ^bpoor,

And decide with fairness 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 slay the wicked.

⁵Also ^arighteousness will be the belt about His loins,

And ^bfaithfulness the belt about His waist.

⁶And the ^awolf will dwell with the lamb,

And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,

And the calf and the young lion ¹and the fatling together;

And a little 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.

⁸The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,

And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

⁹They will ^anot hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,

For the ^bearth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord

As the waters cover the sea.
