| 3And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear; | 3His delight will be in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, he will not execute justice by what he hears with his ears, |
| 4But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. | 4but he will judge the poor righteously and execute justice for the oppressed of the land. He will strike the land with a scepter from his mouth, and he will kill the wicked with a command from his lips. |
| 5Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist. | 5Righteousness will be a belt around his hips; faithfulness will be a belt around his waist. |

The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf will be together, and a child will lead them. |

| 9They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. | 9They 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. |
| 10Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious. | 10On that day the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples.

Together they will plunder the people of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be their subjects. |
| 15And the LORD will utterly destroy The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod. | 15The LORD will divide the Gulf of Suez. He will wave his hand over the Euphrates with his mighty wind and will split it into seven streams, letting people walk through on foot. |
| 16And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt. | 16There will be a highway for the remnant of his people who will survive from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt. |
