2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
3 He will gladly bear the fear of the Lord.
4 He will judge the poor justly.
5 Justice will be the belt around his waist.
6 Wolves will live with lambs.
7 Cows and bears will eat together.
8 Infants will play near cobras’ holes.
9 They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain.
10 At that time the root of Jesse will stand as a banner
11 At that time the Lord will use his power again
12 He will raise a banner for the nations ⌞to gather around⌟.
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia in the west.
15 The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea.
16 There will be a highway
