Isaiah 11:3

Read in context

Isaiah 11:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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