יְשַׁעְיָהוּ 11

1 וְיָצָ֥א חֹ֖טֶר מִגֵּ֣זַע יִשָׁ֑י וְנֵ֖צֶר מִשָּׁרָשָׁ֥יו יִפְרֶֽה׃

Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

2 וְנָחָ֥ה עָלָ֖יו ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֑ה ר֧וּחַ חָכְמָ֣ה וּבִינָ֗ה ר֤וּחַ עֵצָה֙ וּגְבוּרָ֔ה ר֥וּחַ דַּ֖עַת וְיִרְאַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃

The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.

3 וַהֲרִיחֹ֖ו בְּיִרְאַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־לְמַרְאֵ֤ה עֵינָיו֙ יִשְׁפֹּ֔וט וְלֹֽא־לְמִשְׁמַ֥ע אָזְנָ֖יו יֹוכִֽיחַ׃

And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear,

4 וְשָׁפַ֤ט בְּצֶ֙דֶק֙ דַּלִּ֔ים וְהֹוכִ֥יחַ בְּמִישֹׁ֖ור לְעַנְוֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְהִֽכָּה־אֶ֙רֶץ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣בֶט פִּ֔יו וּבְר֥וּחַ שְׂפָתָ֖יו יָמִ֥ית רָשָֽׁע׃

but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

5 וְהָ֥יָה צֶ֖דֶק אֵזֹ֣ור מָתְנָ֑יו וְהָאֱמוּנָ֖ה אֵזֹ֥ור חֲלָצָֽיו׃

Righteousness will be the belt around His hips, and faithfulness the sash around His waist.

6 וְגָ֤ר זְאֵב֙ עִם־כֶּ֔בֶשׂ וְנָמֵ֖ר עִם־גְּדִ֣י יִרְבָּ֑ץ וְעֵ֨גֶל וּכְפִ֤יר וּמְרִיא֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו וְנַ֥עַר קָטֹ֖ן נֹהֵ֥ג בָּֽם׃

The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a little child will lead them.

7 וּפָרָ֤ה וָדֹב֙ תִּרְעֶ֔ינָה יַחְדָּ֖ו יִרְבְּצ֣וּ יַלְדֵיהֶ֑ן וְאַרְיֵ֖ה כַּבָּקָ֥ר יֹֽאכַל־תֶּֽבֶן׃

The cow will graze with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 וְשִֽׁעֲשַׁ֥ע יֹונֵ֖ק עַל־חֻ֣ר פָּ֑תֶן וְעַל֙ מְאוּרַ֣ת צִפְעֹונִ֔י גָּמ֖וּל יָדֹ֥ו הָדָֽה׃

The infant will play by the cobra’s den, and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest.

9 לֹֽא־יָרֵ֥עוּ וְלֹֽא־יַשְׁחִ֖יתוּ בְּכָל־הַ֣ר קָדְשִׁ֑י כִּֽי־מָלְאָ֣ה הָאָ֗רֶץ דֵּעָה֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה כַּמַּ֖יִם לַיָּ֥ם מְכַסִּֽים׃ פ

They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is full of water.

10 וְהָיָה֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא שֹׁ֣רֶשׁ יִשַׁ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר עֹמֵד֙ לְנֵ֣ס עַמִּ֔ים אֵלָ֖יו גֹּויִ֣ם יִדְרֹ֑שׁוּ וְהָיְתָ֥ה מְנֻחָתֹ֖ו כָּבֹֽוד׃ פ

On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, and His place of rest will be glorious.

11 וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא יֹוסִ֨יף אֲדֹנָ֤י ׀ שֵׁנִית֙ יָדֹ֔ו לִקְנֹ֖ות אֶת־שְׁאָ֣ר עַמֹּ֑ו אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשָּׁאֵר֩ מֵאַשּׁ֨וּר וּמִמִּצְרַ֜יִם וּמִפַּתְרֹ֣וס וּמִכּ֗וּשׁ וּמֵעֵילָ֤ם וּמִשִּׁנְעָר֙ וּמֵ֣חֲמָ֔ת וּמֵאִיֵּ֖י הַיָּֽם׃

On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 וְנָשָׂ֥א נֵס֙ לַגֹּויִ֔ם וְאָסַ֖ף נִדְחֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּנְפֻצֹ֤ות יְהוּדָה֙ יְקַבֵּ֔ץ מֵאַרְבַּ֖ע כַּנְפֹ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃

He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will collect the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 וְסָ֙רָה֙ קִנְאַ֣ת אֶפְרַ֔יִם וְצֹרְרֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה יִכָּרֵ֑תוּ אֶפְרַ֙יִם֙ לֹֽא־יְקַנֵּ֣א אֶת־יְהוּדָ֔ה וִֽיהוּדָ֖ה לֹֽא־יָצֹ֥ר אֶת־אֶפְרָֽיִם׃

Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will no longer envy Judah, nor will Judah harass Ephraim.

14 וְעָפ֨וּ בְכָתֵ֤ף פְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ יָ֔מָּה יַחְדָּ֖ו יָבֹ֣זּוּ אֶת־בְּנֵי־קֶ֑דֶם אֱדֹ֤ום וּמֹואָב֙ מִשְׁלֹ֣וח יָדָ֔ם וּבְנֵ֥י עַמֹּ֖ון מִשְׁמַעְתָּֽם׃

They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east. They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.

15 וְהֶחֱרִ֣ים יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֚ת לְשֹׁ֣ון יָם־מִצְרַ֔יִם וְהֵנִ֥יף יָדֹ֛ו עַל־הַנָּהָ֖ר בַּעְיָ֣ם רוּחֹ֑ו וְהִכָּ֙הוּ֙ לְשִׁבְעָ֣ה נְחָלִ֔ים וְהִדְרִ֖יךְ בַּנְּעָלִֽים׃

The LORD will devote to destruction the gulf of the Sea of Egypt; with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand over the Euphrates. He will split it into seven streams for men to cross with dry sandals.

16 וְהָיְתָ֣ה מְסִלָּ֔ה לִשְׁאָ֣ר עַמֹּ֔ו אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִשָּׁאֵ֖ר מֵֽאַשּׁ֑וּר כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר הָֽיְתָה֙ לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בְּיֹ֥ום עֲלֹתֹ֖ו מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.
