1 And there shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 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 He shall delight in the fear of the Lord,and he shall not judge by what his eyes see,nor reprove by what his ears hear;
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,and reprove with fairness for the meek of the earth.He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins,and faithfulness the belt about his waist.
