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.
1 从耶西的树干必生出一根嫩芽, 从他的根而出的枝条必结果子。
2 耶和华的灵必停留在他身上, 就是智慧的灵和聪明的灵, 谋略的灵和能力的灵, 知识的灵和敬畏耶和华的灵。
3 他必以敬畏耶和华为乐。他不凭眼睛所见的施行审判, 也不凭耳朵所听的断定是非;
4 却要以公义审判贫穷人, 以正直判断地上的困苦人; 以口中的杖击打世界, 以嘴里的气杀死恶人。
5 公义必作他腰间的带子, 信实必作他胁下的带子。
6 豺狼必与绵羊羔同住, 豹子要与山羊羔同卧, 牛犊、幼狮和肥畜必同群; 小孩子要牵引它们。
7 牛必与母熊一同吃食, 牛犊必与小熊一起躺卧; 狮子就像牛一般吃草。
8 吃奶的婴儿必在虺蛇的洞口玩耍, 断奶的孩子必放他的手在毒蛇的穴上。
9 在我整个圣山上面, 这一切都不行伤害或毁灭之事; 因为认识耶和华的知识要充满大地, 好像海水覆盖海洋一般。
10 到那日, 耶西的根必竖立起来, 作万族的旗帜; 列国的人必寻求他, 他安息之所必大有荣耀。
11 到那日, 主必再用自己的手, 赎回他子民中的余民, 就是从亚述、埃及、巴忒罗、古实、以拦、示拿和哈马, 以及众海岛所剩下的。
12 他必向列国竖起旗帜, 召聚以色列被掳去的人, 又从地的四方聚集分散了的犹大人。
13 以法莲的嫉妒必消除, 那敌视犹大的必被剪除; 以法莲必不再嫉妒犹大, 犹大也必不再敌视以法莲。
14 他们要向西飞, 扑在非利士人的山麓上, 一起掳掠东方人; 他们必把手伸到以东和摩押之上, 亚扪人必顺服他们。
15 耶和华必使埃及的海湾干涸; 他要用热风在大河之上挥手, 他要击打它, 使它分成七道支流, 使人走过去也不会把鞋弄湿。
16 为着 神的余民, 就是那些在亚述剩下归回的, 必有一条大路给他们归回, 正如以色列人从埃及地上来的日子一样。
