45. Isaiah - Spirit of Judgment - Ch 11 - 20

11: 1 And there shall come forth
a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow
out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD
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 the LORD;
3 And shall make him of
quick understanding in the fear
of the LORD: and he shall not judge
after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after
the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he
judge the poor, and reprove
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 loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also 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 cockatrice' den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain:
for the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there
shall be a root of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign
of the people; to it shall
the Gentiles seek: and his
rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass
in that day, that the Lord
shall set his hand again
the second time to recover
the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, 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 shall set up an ensign
for the nations, and shall 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 the adversaries
of Judah shall be cut off:
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14 But they shall fly upon
the shoulders of the Philistines
toward the west; they shall
spoil them of the east together:
they shall lay their hand upon
Edom and Moab; and the children
of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the LORD shall utterly
destroy the tongue of the
Egyptian sea; and with his
mighty wind shall he shake
his hand over the river,
and shall smite it in the seven streams,
and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway
for the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria;
like as it was to Israel
in the day that he came up
out of the land of Egypt.

12: 1 And in that day thou shalt say,
O LORD, I will praise thee:
though thou wast angry with me,
thine anger is turned away,
and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and not be afraid:
for the LORD JEHOVAH
is my strength and my song;
he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw
water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the LORD, call upon his name,
declare his doings among the people,
make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the LORD; for he
hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout,
thou inhabitant of Zion:
for great is the Holy One
of Israel in the midst of thee.

13: 1 The burden of Babylon,
which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon
the high mountain, exalt the voice
unto them, shake the hand,
that they may go into
the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones,
I have also called my mighty ones
for mine anger, even them
that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude
in the mountains, like as
of a great people; a tumultuous noise
of the kingdoms of nations
gathered together: the LORD of hosts
mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country,
from the end of heaven,
even the LORD, and the weapons
of his indignation,
to destroy the whole land.
