2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 Justice will be the belt around his waist. Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips. 6 Wolves will live with lambs. Leopards will lie down with goats. Calves, young lions, and year-old lambs will be together, and little children will lead them. 7 Cows and bears will eat together. Their young will lie down together. Lions will eat straw like oxen. 8 Infants will play near cobras' holes. Toddlers will put their hands into vipers' nests. 9 They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain. The world will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD like water covering the sea. Isaiah 11:2-9, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
