The Judgments of the Branch
Then a ashoot will spring from the bstem of Jesse,
And a cbranch from dhis roots will bear fruit.
2 The aSpirit of Yahweh will rest on Him,
The spirit of bwisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and cmight,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
3 And He will delight in the fear of Yahweh,
And He will not judge by what His eyes asee,
Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;
4 But with arighteousness He will judge the bpoor,
And decide with uprightness for the cafflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the drod of His mouth,
And with the ebreath of His lips He will put the wicked to death.
