11 A shoot will grow up from the stump of Jesse;
    a branch will sprout from his roots.
² The Lord’s spirit will rest upon him,
    a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    a spirit of planning and strength,
    a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
³ He will delight in fearing the Lord.
He won’t judge by appearances,
    nor decide by hearsay.
⁴ He will judge the needy with righteousness,
    and decide with equity for those who suffer in the land.
He will strike the violent with the rod of his mouth;
    by the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
⁵ Righteousness will be the belt around his hips,
    and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
