The Root of Jesse
Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, Jer 23:5Rev 22:16Zec 6:12Rev 5:5Act 13:22-23Jer 33:15Isa 53:2Zec 3:8
and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— Isa 61:1Jhn 16:13Eph 1:17-182Ti 1:7Isa 42:1Mat 3:16Col 1:8-9Jhn 3:34
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and strength,
the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.
And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. Jhn 7:24Luk 2:521Sa 16:7Jhn 8:15-161Co 2:13-15Pro 2:51Ki 3:28Heb 5:14
He will not judge by what His eyes see,
and He will not decide by what His ears hear,
but with righteousness He will judge the poor, 2Th 2:8Rev 19:15Job 4:9Mal 4:6Pro 31:8-9Isa 61:1Mat 5:5Psa 72:12-14
and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth
and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.
Righteousness will be the belt around His hips, Eph 6:141Jn 1:92Co 6:7Isa 25:1Isa 59:171Pe 4:1Hos 2:20Rev 1:13
and faithfulness the sash around His waist.
The wolf will live with the lamb, Isa 65:25Hos 2:18Ezk 34:25Rev 5:9-10Gal 3:26-27Col 3:3-8Tit 3:3-51Co 6:9-11
and the leopard will lie down with the goat;
the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, 1
and a little child will lead them.
The cow will graze with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The infant will play by the cobra’s den, Isa 59:5Psa 140:3
and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest.
They will neither harm nor destroy Hab 2:14Isa 52:10Psa 98:2-3Mic 4:2-4Job 5:23Isa 60:1-22Isa 59:19Psa 72:19
on all My holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the sea is full of water.
On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, 2 and His place of rest will be glorious. Rom 15:9-12Luk 2:32Isa 11:1Mat 2:1-2Jhn 12:32Mat 12:21Mat 8:11Act 11:18 On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, 3 from Elam, from Shinar, 4 from Hamath, and from the islands 5of the sea. Zec 10:8-12Isa 10:20Mic 7:12Hos 3:4-5Deu 4:27-31Hos 11:11Jer 30:8-11Lev 26:40-42
He will raise a banner for the nations Isa 43:6Isa 56:8Psa 147:2Zep 3:10Isa 11:10Zec 10:6Isa 27:13Psa 68:22
and gather the exiles of Israel;
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
Then the jealousy of Ephraim 6will depart, Jer 3:18Ezk 37:16-24Hos 1:11Isa 9:21Isa 7:1-6
and the adversaries 7of Judah will be cut off.
Ephraim will no longer envy Judah,
nor will Judah harass Ephraim.
They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west; Jol 3:19Dan 11:41Isa 25:10Jer 49:28Amo 9:12Mat 8:11Ezk 38:1-23Isa 16:14
together they will plunder the sons of the east.
They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
The LORD will devote to destruction 8 Rev 16:12Zec 10:11Isa 50:2Isa 19:16Isa 7:20Ezk 29:10Ezk 30:12Isa 19:5-10
the gulf 9of the Sea of Egypt;
with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand
over the Euphrates. 10
He will split it into seven streams
for men to cross with dry sandals.
There will be a highway for the remnant of His people Isa 19:23Isa 35:8-10Isa 11:11Exo 14:26-29Isa 62:10Isa 40:3-4Isa 51:10Isa 57:14
who remain from Assyria,
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.
