New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
1 Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.
1
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD .
2
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—
3 He will delight in obeying the LORD . He will not judge by appearance nor make a decision based on hearsay.
3
and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 He will give justice to the poor and make fair decisions for the exploited. The earth will shake at the force of his word, and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.
4
but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 He will wear righteousness like a belt and truth like an undergarment.
5
Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
