Isaiah 11:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 [a]The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:(A)
a spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
A spirit of counsel and of strength,
a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord,
3 and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord.
Not by appearance shall he judge,
nor by hearsay shall he decide,
4 But he shall judge the poor with justice,
and decide fairly for the land’s afflicted.(B)
He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.(C)
