Isaiah 11:1-5

New International Version

The Branch From Jesse

11 A shoot^(A) will come up from the stump^(B) of Jesse;^(C)
    from his roots a Branch^(D) will bear fruit.^(E)
²The Spirit^(F) of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom^(G) and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,^(H)
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
³and he will delight in the fear^(I) of the Lord.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,^(J)
    or decide by what he hears with his ears;^(K)
⁴but with righteousness^(L) he will judge the needy,^(M)
    with justice^(N) he will give decisions for the poor^(O) of the earth.
He will strike^(P) the earth with the rod of his mouth;^(Q)
    with the breath^(R) of his lips he will slay the wicked.^(S)
⁵Righteousness will be his belt^(T)
    and faithfulness^(U) the sash around his waist.^(V)

New International Version

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

¹³See, my servant^(A) will act wisely^[a];
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.^(B)
¹⁴Just as there were many who were appalled^(C) at him^[b]—
    his appearance was so disfigured^(D) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness^(E)—
¹⁵so he will sprinkle^(F) many nations,^[c]
    and kings^(G) will shut their mouths^(H) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.^(I)
