0 SAB Isaiah 11

The breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 30:33

Trivia: For how many years did Isaiah walk around naked and barefoot?

Isaiah

CHAPTER 11

The mouth of the rod of Jesse
11:1-5

1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel 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 judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

A rod will come out of the stem of Jesse,

and branch will grow out its roots. [1]

4 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.

He will smite the earth with his mouth and breath,

and kill all the wicked people. [2]

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

His loins will be girdled with righteousness,

and his kidneys (reins) with faithfulness.

Cockatrice dens
11:6-9

6The 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.

Wolfs, leopards, and bears will live peacefully with their prey.

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.

And lions will eat straw. [3]

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

9 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.

Children will safely play with poisonous snakes,

and put their hands in cockatrice dens. [4]

God will destroy the Red Sea and Euphrates River
11:10-16

10 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.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant 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 islands of the sea.

In that day, there will be a root of Jesse.

12 And he shall set up an ensign 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 envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

People will gather from the four corners of the earth. [5]

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

They will attack the Philistines, and defeat the people of Edom, Moab, and Ammon. [6]

15And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian 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 an highway 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.

And God will destroy the Red Sea and dry up the Euphrates River. [7]
