hThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Isaiah 11:1-10

The Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of iJesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2And jthe 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.
kHe shall not judge by lwhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by mwhat his ears hear,
4but nwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ostrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and pwith the breath of his lips qhe shall kill the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and rfaithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 sThe wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
9 tThey shall not hurt or destroy
in all umy holy mountain;
vfor the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10In that day wthe root of xJesse, who shall stand as ya signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
