1And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, "" And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.

2The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, "" The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, "" The Spirit of counsel and might, "" The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.

3To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, "" And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, "" Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.

4And He has judged the poor in righteousness, "" And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, "" And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, "" And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.

5And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, "" And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.

6“And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, "" And a leopard lies down with a kid, "" And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, "" And a little youth is leader over them.

7And cow and bear feed, "" Together their young ones lie down, "" And a lion eats straw as an ox.

8And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, "" And on the den of a viper "" The weaned one has put his hand.

9They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, "" For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, "" As the waters are covering the sea.”

10And there has been, in that day, "" A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, "" Nations seek Him, "" And His rest has been glorious!

11And it has come to pass in that day, "" The Lord adds His power a second time, "" To get the remnant of His people that is left, "" From Asshur, and from Egypt, "" And from Pathros, and from Cush, "" And from Elam, and from Shinar, "" And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,

12And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, "" And gathers the driven away of Israel, "" And He assembles the scattered of Judah, "" From the four wings of the earth.

13And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, "" And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, "" Ephraim does not envy Judah, "" And Judah does not distress Ephraim.

14And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, "" Together they spoil the sons of the east, "" Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, "" And sons of Ammon obeying them.

15And YHWH has devoted to destruction "" The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, "" And has waved His hand over the river, "" In the terror of His wind, "" And has struck it at the seven streams, "" And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.

16And there has been a highway, "" For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, "" As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
