Isaiah11 NWT(2013 Edition)

A twig+ will grow out of the stump of Jes′se,+

And a sprout+ from his roots will bear fruit.

 2 And the spirit of Jehovah will settle upon him,+

The spirit of wisdom+ and of understanding,

The spirit of counsel and of mightiness,+

The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

 3 And he will find delight in the fear of Jehovah.+

He will not judge by what appears to his eyes,

Nor reprove simply according to what his ears hear.+

 4 He will judge the lowly with fairness,*

And with uprightness he will give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth.

He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth+

And put the wicked to death with the breath* of his lips.+

 5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist,

And faithfulness the belt of his hips.+

 6 The wolf will reside for a while with the lamb,+

And with the young goat the leopard will lie down,

And the calf and the lion* and the fattened animal will all be together;*+

And a little boy will lead them.

 7 The cow and the bear will feed together,

And their young will lie down together.

The lion will eat straw like the bull.+

 8 The nursing child will play over the lair of a cobra,

And a weaned child will put his hand over the den of a poisonous snake.

 9 They will not cause any harm+

Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,+

Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.+

10 In that day the root of Jes′se+ will stand up as a signal* for the peoples.+

To him the nations will turn for guidance,*+

And his resting-place will become glorious.

11 In that day Jehovah will again offer his hand, a second time, to reclaim the remnant of his people who are left from As·syr′i·a,+ from Egypt,+ from Path′ros,+ from Cush,+ from E′lam,+ from Shi′nar,* from Ha′math, and from the islands of the sea.+ 12 He will raise up a signal* for the nations and gather the dispersed ones of Israel,+ and he will gather together the scattered ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth.+

13 The jealousy of E′phra·im will be gone,+

And those who show hostility to Judah will be done away with.

E′phra·im will not be jealous of Judah,

Nor will Judah show hostility toward E′phra·im.+

14 And they will swoop down on the slopes* of the Phi·lis′tines to the west;

Together they will plunder the people of the East.

They will thrust out their hand against* E′dom+ and Mo′ab,+

And the Am′mon·ites will become their subjects.+

15 Jehovah will divide* the gulf* of the Egyptian sea+

And wave his hand over the River.*+

With his scorching breath* he will strike it in its* seven torrents,

And he will cause people to walk across in their sandals.

16 And there will be a highway+ out of As·syr′i·a for the remnant of his people who are left,+

As there was for Israel in the day he came out of the land of Egypt.
