The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

 1 ^aAnd there shall come forth a ^brod out of the ^cstem of ^dJesse, and a ^eBranch shall grow out of his roots:

 2 And the ^aspirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of ^bwisdom and ^cunderstanding, the spirit of ^dcounsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not ^ajudge ^bafter the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

 4 But with righteousness shall ^ahe ^bjudge the poor, and ^creprove with equity for the ^dmeek of the earth: and he shall ^esmite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the ^fbreath of his lips shall he ^gslay the wicked.

 5 And righteousness shall be the ^agirdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his ^breins.

 6 The ^awolf 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.

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

 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of ^athe asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the ^bcockatrice’ den.

 9 They shall not ^ahurt nor ^bdestroy in all my holy ^cmountain: for the ^dearth shall be full of the ^eknowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

 10 ¶And in ^athat day there shall be a ^broot of Jesse, which shall stand for an ^censign of the people; ^dto it shall the ^eGentiles seek: and his ^frest shall be glorious.

 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the ^asecond time to ^brecover the ^cremnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the ^dislands of the sea.

 12 And he shall set up an ^aensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

 13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not ^aenvy ^bJudah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

 14 But they shall ^afly upon the ^bshoulders of the Philistines toward the west; ^cthey shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

 15 And the Lord shall utterly ^adestroy the tongue of the ^bEgyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

 16 And there shall be ^aan ^bhighway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
