Isaiah 11:1-9 - Heartlight

¹Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse,

and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

²The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him —

the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and strength,

the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.

³And He will delight in the fear of the LORD.

He will not judge by what His eyes see,

and He will not decide by what His ears hear,

⁴but with righteousness He will judge the poor,

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.

⁵Righteousness will be the belt around His hips,

and faithfulness the sash around His waist.

⁶The wolf will live with the lamb,

and the leopard will lie down with the goat;

the calf and young lion and fatling will be together,

and a little child will lead them.

⁷The cow will graze with the bear,

their young will lie down together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

⁸The infant will play by the cobra’s den,

and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest.

⁹They will neither harm nor destroy

on all My holy mountain,

for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD

as the sea is full of water.

— Isaiah 11:1-9
