The Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of jJesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
 2And kthe 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 the fear of the Lord.
 3And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
lHe shall not judge by mwhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by nwhat his ears hear,
 4but owith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall pstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and qwith the breath of his lips rhe shall kill the wicked.
 5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and sfaithfulness the belt of his loins.

Isaiah 32:1-2

A King Will Reign in Righteousness

1 Behold, ta king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule in justice.
 2 uEach will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a shelter from the storm,
vlike streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
