Peace at Last

Isaiah 11 Like a branch that sprouts from a stump,
someone from David's family will someday be king.
2The Spirit of the LORD will be with him
to give him understanding, wisdom, and insight.
He will be powerful, and he will know
and honor the LORD.
3His greatest joy will be to obey the LORD.

This king won't judge by appearances or listen to rumors.
4The poor and the needy will be treated with fairness
and with justice.
His word will be law everywhere in the land,
and criminals will be put to death.
5Honesty and fairness will be his royal robes.

6Leopards will lie down with young goats,
and wolves will rest with lambs.
Calves and lions will eat together
and be cared for by little children.
7Cows and bears will share the same pasture;
their young will rest side by side.
Lions and oxen will both eat straw.

ceisorcd228nnnn 9Nothing harmful will take place
on the LORD's holy mountain.
Just as water fills the sea,
the land will be filled with people
who know and honor the LORD.
