 The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 11

The Kingdom of the Messiah is Peaceful and Prosperous

1 For a shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch will grow from his roots.

2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him—the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

3 He will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what his eyes see, nor reprove by what his ears hear.

4 But with righteousness he will judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5 And righteousness will be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his waist. 

6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the ewe together, and a little child will lead them.

7 The cow and the bear will graze, and their young will lie down together; and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 And the nursing child will play on the cobra's den, and the weaned child will put his hand on the adder's den.

9 They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

10 And it will come to pass in that day that the nations will ask for the root of Jesse, who stands as an ensign for the peoples, and his resting place will be glorious. 

11 For it will come to pass in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who are left from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.

12 And he will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 And the envy of Ephraim will be driven away, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will not oppress Ephraim.

14 But they will fly on the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they will plunder the people of the east together; they will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them. 

15 And the Lord will utterly destroy the sea of ​​Egypt, and will shake his hand against the river with a mighty wind, and will strike it, dividing it into seven streams, which one may cross with shoes. 

16 And there will be a highway for the remnant of his people, who are left from Assyria, as was the case for Israel on the day they came up out of the land of Egypt.
