Isaiah 11: The Branch from Jesse

Isaiah promised that a shoot would come from the stump of Jesse, King David's father. Yahweh's Spirit would rest on him with wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of Yahweh. He would judge the poor with righteousness. In his kingdom the wolf would live with the lamb, and a little child would lead them. No one would hurt or destroy on God's holy mountain, for the earth would be full of the knowledge of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea. The nations would seek the root of Jesse, and God would gather his scattered people from the four corners of the earth.
