Isaiah 11

The Judgments of the Branch

Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
2
The Spirit of Yahweh will rest on Him,
The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and might,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
3
And He will delight in the fear of Yahweh,
And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;
4
But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with uprightness 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 put the wicked to death.
5
Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

6
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a young boy will lead them.
7
Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8
And the nursing baby will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9
They will do no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh
As the waters cover the sea.

A Remnant Remains

10
Then it will be in that day,
That the nations will seek the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a standard for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious.

11
Then it will be in that day, that the Lord
Will again acquire the second time with His hand
The remnant of His people, who will remain,
From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the coastlands of the sea.
12
And He will lift up a standard for the nations
And assemble the banished ones of Israel,
And will gather the scattered of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13
Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart,
And those who assail Judah will be cut off;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
And Judah will not assail Ephraim.
14
And they will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;
Together they will plunder the sons of the east;
They will stretch out their hands over Edom and Moab,
And the sons of Ammon will obey them.
15
And Yahweh will devote to destruction
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.
16
And there will be a highway from Assyria
For the remnant of His people who will remain,
Just as there was for Israel
In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 65:17 - 65:25

New Heavens and a New Earth

17
“For behold, I am creating a new heavens and a new earth;
And the former things will not be remembered or come upon the heart.
18
But be joyful and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for joy.
19
I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be joyful in My people;
And there will no longer be heard in her
The voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
20
No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does not fulfill his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred,
And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.
21
They will build houses and inhabit them;
They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22
They will not build and another inhabit;
They will not plant and another eat;
For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.
23
They will not labor in vain,
Or bear children for terror;
For they are the seed of those blessed by Yahweh,
And their offspring with them.
24 And it will be that before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
