The LORD's Kingdom
Then a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of advice and power,
the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
He will gladly bear the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what his eyes see
or decide by what his ears hear.
He will judge the poor justly.
He will make fair decisions for the humble people on earth.
He will strike the earth with a rod from his mouth.
He will kill the wicked with the breath from his lips.
Justice will be the belt around his waist.
Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips.
Isaiah 11:1-5 (GW)
