1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2And the spirit of the LORD shall 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; 3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:11.3 quick…: Heb. scent or, smell 4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.11.4 reprove: or, argue 5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.11.8 cockatrice’: or, adder’s 9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10¶ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.11.10 glorious: Heb. glory 11And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.11.12 corners: Heb. wings 13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 14But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.11.14 them of: Heb. the children of11.14 they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand11.14 shall obey…: Heb. their obedience 15And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.11.15 dryshod: Heb. in shoes 16And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
大衛的後裔做王
1就像樹墩上長出新的枝條，
大衛的後裔中必有一人做王。
2耶和華的靈必住在他身上，
使他有聰明和智慧、謀略和能力，
能認識並敬畏耶和華。
3他必以敬畏耶和華為樂。
他不憑眼見施行審判，
不憑耳聞斷定是非，
4而是按公義審判貧窮人，
以公正為受苦者斷案。
他必用口中的杖擊打世界，
以嘴裡的氣殺戮惡人。
5公義必作他的腰帶，
信實必作他肋下的帶子。
6那時，豺狼和綿羊羔同住，
豹子和山羊羔同臥，
牛犢和獅子同群，
小孩子可以照看牠們。
7牛與熊一起吃喝，
小牛和小熊一起躺臥，
獅子像牛一樣吃草。
8吃奶的嬰孩在毒蛇的洞口玩耍，
斷奶的孩子把手伸進蛇洞。
9在我的整個聖山上，
牠們都不傷人、不害物。
認識耶和華的人必充滿天下，
就像水充滿海洋一樣。
10到那日，耶西的根必成為引導萬民的旗幟，外族人都來尋求他，他的住處充滿榮耀。 11到那日，主必再次伸手從亞述、埃及、巴特羅、古實、以攔、示拿、哈馬和眾海島救回祂剩餘的子民。
12祂必向各國豎立旗幟，
召集被擄的以色列人，
把分散在世界各地的猶大人聚集起來。
13以色列必不再嫉妒猶大，
猶大必不再與以色列為敵，
以色列的嫉妒和猶大的敵意必煙消雲散。
14他們必聯合起來，
向西征討非利士，
向東征服以東、摩押和亞捫。
15耶和華必使埃及的海乾涸，
揮手用焦熱的風使幼發拉底河分成七條溪流，
使人可以涉水而過。
16祂剩餘的子民必沿著大路從亞述歸回，
就像昔日以色列人離開埃及一樣。
