11 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,c
and a branchd from his roots will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on hime—
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
3 His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge
by what he sees with his eyes,f
he will not execute justice
by what he hears with his ears,
4 but he will judge the poor righteouslyg
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with a scepterB from his mouth,h
and he will kill the wickedi
with a commandC from his lips.j
5 Righteousness will be a belt around his hips;k
faithfulness will be a belt around his waist.
6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb,m
and the leopard will lie down with the goat.
The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf will be together,
and a child will lead them.
7 The cow and the bear will graze,
their young ones will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like cattle.
8 An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit,
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
9 They will not harm or destroy each other
on my entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.n
10 On that day the root of Jesseo
will stand as a banner for the peoples.p
The nations will look to him for guidance,q
and his resting place will be glorious.r
11 On that days the Lord will extend his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people who survive—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west.t
12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;a
he will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.b
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;c
Judah’s harassing will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.d
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.e
15 The Lord will divideA,B the Gulf of Suez.C
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates
with his mighty windf
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people
who will survive from Assyria,g
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.h

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
