A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit. Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding,

the spirit of counsel and might,

the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh.

He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth.

He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
