115 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

116 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots;

117 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, and spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

118 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears;

119 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

120 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

121 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

122 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

123 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den.

124 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

125 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people: to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
