Isaiah 11

veyatsa khoter miggeza yishay venetser mishorashayw yifreh

But a shoot shall grow out of the stump of Jesse, A twig shall sprout from his stock.

venakhah alayw ruakh Adonai ruakh khokhmah uvinah ruakh etsah ugevurah ruakh da'at veyirat Adonai

The spirit of GOD shall alight upon him: A spirit of wisdom and insight, A spirit of counsel and valor, A spirit of devotion and reverence for GOD.

vaharikho beyirat Adonai velo-lemareh enayw yishpot velo-lemishma oznayw yokhiakh

He shall sense the truth by his reverence for GOD: He shall not judge by what his eyes behold, Nor decide by what his ears perceive.

veshafat betsedeq dallim vehokhiakh bemishor le'anve-arets vehikkah-erets beshevet piv uveruakh sefatayw yamit rasha

Thus he shall judge the poor with equity And decide with justice for the lowly of the land. He shall strike down a land with the rod of his mouth And slay the wicked with the breath of his lips.

vehayah tsedeq ezor motnayw veha'emunah ezor khalatsayw

Justice shall be the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness the girdle of his waist.

vegar ze'ev im-keves venamer im-gedi yirbats ve'egel ukhefir umeri yakhdav vena'ar qaton noheg bam

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard lie down with the kid; The calf, the beast of prey, and the fatling together, With a little child to herd them.

ufarah vadov tirenah yakhdav yirbetsu yaldehen ve'aryeh kabbaqar yokhal-teven

The cow and the bear shall graze, Their young shall lie down together; And the lion, like the ox, shall eat straw.

veshi'asha yoneq al-khur paten ve'al me'urat tsifoni gamul yado hadah

A babe shall play Over a viper’s hole, And an infant pass its hand Over an adder’s den.

lo-yare'u velo-yashkhitu bekhol-har qodshi ki-male'ah ha'arets de'ah et-Adonai kammayim layyam mekhassim

In all of My sacred mount Nothing evil or vile shall be done; For the land shall be filled with devotion to GOD As water covers the sea.

vehayah bayyom hahu shoresh yishay asher omed lenes ammim elayw goyim yidroshu vehayetah menukhato kavod

In that day, The stock of Jesse that has remained standing Shall become a standard to peoples— Nations shall seek his counsel And his abode shall be honored.

vehayah bayyom hahu yosif adonay shenit yado liqnot et-she'ar ammo asher yisha'er me'ashur umimmitsrayim umippatros umikkush ume'elam umishinar umekhamat ume'iyye hayyam

In that day, my Sovereign will apply the divine hand again to redeeming the other part of this people from Assyria—as also from Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coastlands.

venasa nes laggoyim ve'asaf nidkhe yisra'el unefutsot yehudah yeqabbets me'arba kanfot ha'arets

[God] will hold up a signal to the nations And assemble the banished of Israel, And gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

vesarah qinat efrayim vetsorere yehudah yikkaretu efrayim lo-yeqanne et-yehudah vihudah lo-yatsor et-efrayim

Then Ephraim’s envy shall cease And Judah’s harassment shall end; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

ve'afu vekhatef pelishtim yammah yakhdav yavozzu et-bene-qedem edom umo'av mishloakh yadam uvene ammon mishmatam

They shall pounce on the back of Philistia to the west, And together plunder the peoples of the east; Edom and Moab shall be subject to them And the children of Ammon shall obey them.

vehekherim Adonai et leshon yam-mitsrayim vehenif yado al-hannahar bayam rukho vehikkahu leshivah nekhalim vehidrikh banne'alim

GOD will dry up the tongue of the Egyptian sea—and will raise a hand over the Euphrates with a mighty wind and break it into seven wadis, so that it can be trodden dry-shod.

vehayetah mesillah lishar ammo asher yisha'er me'ashur ka'asher hayetah leyisra'el beyom aloto me'erets mitsrayim

Thus there shall be a highway for the other part of Israel out of Assyria, such as there was for this people when it left the land of Egypt.
