1 Do tronco de Jessé sairá um rebento, e das suas raízes, um renovo. 2 Repousará sobre ele o Espírito do Senhor, o Espírito de sabedoria e de entendimento, o Espírito de conselho e de fortaleza, o Espírito de conhecimento e de temor do Senhor. 3 Deleitar-se-á no temor do Senhor; não julgará segundo a vista dos seus olhos, nem repreenderá segundo o ouvir dos seus ouvidos; 4 mas julgará com justiça os pobres e decidirá com equidade a favor dos mansos da terra; ferirá a terra com a vara de sua boca e com o sopro dos seus lábios matará o perverso. 5 A justiça será o cinto dos seus lombos, e a fidelidade, o cinto dos seus rins.

6 O lobo habitará com o cordeiro, e o leopardo se deitará junto ao cabrito; o bezerro, o leão novo e o animal cevado andarão juntos, e um pequenino os guiará. 7 A vaca e a ursa pastarão juntas, e as suas crias juntas se deitarão; o leão comerá palha como o boi. 8 A criança de peito brincará sobre a toca da áspide, e o já desmamado meterá a mão na cova do basilisco. 9 Não se fará mal nem dano algum em todo o meu santo monte, porque a terra se encherá do conhecimento do Senhor, como as águas cobrem o mar.

10 Naquele dia, recorrerão as nações à raiz de Jessé que está posta por estandarte dos povos; a glória lhe será a morada.

11 Naquele dia, o Senhor tornará a estender a mão para resgatar o restante do seu povo, que for deixado, da Assíria, do Egito, de Patros, da Etiópia, de Elão, de Sinar, de Hamate e das terras do mar. 12 Levantará um estandarte para as nações, ajuntará os desterrados de Israel e os dispersos de Judá recolherá desde os quatro confins da terra. 13 Afastar-se-á a inveja de Efraim, e os adversários de Judá serão eliminados; Efraim não invejará a Judá, e Judá não oprimirá a Efraim. 14 Antes, voarão para sobre os ombros dos filisteus ao Ocidente; juntos, despojarão os filhos do Oriente; contra Edom e Moabe lançarão as mãos, e os filhos de Amom lhes serão sujeitos. 15 O Senhor destruirá totalmente o braço do mar do Egito, e com a força do seu vento moverá a mão contra o Eufrates, e, ferindo-o, dividi-lo-á em sete canais, de sorte que qualquer o atravessará de sandálias. 16 Haverá caminho plano para o restante do seu povo, que for deixado, da Assíria, como o houve para Israel no dia em que subiu da terra do Egito.

1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of Jehovah 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 Jehovah. 3 And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; 4 but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide 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. 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.

6 And the wolf 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. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, that standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the nations seek; and his resting-place shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, that shall remain, 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. 12 And he will set up an ensign 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 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and they that vex Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 14 And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west; together shall they despoil the children of the east: they shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 15 And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind will he wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dryshod. 16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, that shall remain, from Assyria; like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD —

3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;

4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling "together; and a little child will lead them.

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

8 The infant will play near the cobra's den, the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest.

9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.

11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, "from Elam, from Babylonia, "from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

12 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.

13 Ephraim's jealousy will vanish, and Judah's enemies "will be destroyed; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.

14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will subdue Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.

15 The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.

16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that is left from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt.
