7Of the increase of his government and of peace
athere will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

bwith justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
cThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Isaiah 11:3-9

3And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
dHe shall not judge by ewhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by fwhat his ears hear,
4but gwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall hstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and iwith the breath of his lips jhe shall kill the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and kfaithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 lThe 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 mThey shall not hurt or destroy
in all nmy holy mountain;
ofor the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
