The Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of lJesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
 2And mthe 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.
nHe shall not judge by owhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by pwhat his ears hear,
 4but qwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall rstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and swith the breath of his lips the shall kill the wicked.
 5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and ufaithfulness the belt of his loins.
