1 And there will come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

2 And 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 of the fear of Yahweh.

3 And his delight will be in the fear of Yahweh; and he will not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;

4 but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5 And righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
