32 This very day he will halt at Nob.
He shakes his fist at the mountain
    of the Daughter of Zion,
    the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, Adonai-Tzva’ot
will lop off the branches with terror!
So the tall ones will be cut down
    and the lofty ones laid low.
34 Yes, He will hack down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.

The Branch From David

11 Then a shoot will come forth out of the stem of Jesse,
and a branch will bear fruit out of His roots.[a]
The Ruach of Adonai will rest upon Him,
the Spirit of wisdom and insight,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge
    and of the fear of Adonai.[b]
His delight will be in the fear of Adonai.
He will not judge by what His eyes see,
nor decide by what His ears hear.
But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
    and decide with fairness for the poor of the land.
He will strike the land with the rod of His mouth,[c]
    and with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Also righteousness will be the belt around His loins,
    and faithfulness the belt around His waist.

Messianic Age of Shalom

The wolf will dwell with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the kid,
the calf and the young lion and the yearling together,
and a little child will lead them.
The cow and the bear will graze,
their young ones lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like an ox.
A nursing child will play by a cobra’s hole,
    and a weaned child will put his hand into a viper’s den.
They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Adonai,
    as the waters cover the sea.

Second Return from Diaspora

10 It will also come about in that day
that the root of Jesse will stand
    as a banner for the peoples.[d]
The nations will seek for Him,
and His resting place will be glorious.[e]
11 It will also come about in that day that my Lord will again redeem—a second time with His hand—the remnant of His people who remain[f]
    from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 He will lift up a banner for the nations,
and assemble the dispersed of Israel,
and gather the scattered of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.[g]

32 This day they will halt at Nob;(A)
    they will shake their fist(B)
at the mount of Daughter Zion,(C)
    at the hill of Jerusalem.

33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    will lop off(D) the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,(E)
    the tall(F) ones will be brought low.(G)
34 He will cut down(H) the forest thickets with an ax;
    Lebanon(I) will fall before the Mighty One.(J)

The Branch From Jesse

11 A shoot(K) will come up from the stump(L) of Jesse;(M)
    from his roots a Branch(N) will bear fruit.(O)
The Spirit(P) of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom(Q) and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,(R)
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord
and he will delight in the fear(S) of the Lord.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,(T)
    or decide by what he hears with his ears;(U)
but with righteousness(V) he will judge the needy,(W)
    with justice(X) he will give decisions for the poor(Y) of the earth.
He will strike(Z) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(AA)
    with the breath(AB) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(AC)
Righteousness will be his belt(AD)
    and faithfulness(AE) the sash around his waist.(AF)

    the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;
    and a little child will lead them.
The cow will feed with the bear,
    their young will lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(AH)
The infant(AI) will play near the cobra’s den,
    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(AJ) nest.
They will neither harm nor destroy(AK)
    on all my holy mountain,(AL)
for the earth(AM) will be filled with the knowledge(AN) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day(AO) the Root of Jesse(AP) will stand as a banner(AQ) for the peoples; the nations(AR) will rally to him,(AS) and his resting place(AT) will be glorious.(AU) 11 In that day(AV) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(AW) of his people from Assyria,(AX) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(AY) from Cush,[b](AZ) from Elam,(BA) from Babylonia,[c] from Hamath(BB) and from the islands(BC) of the Mediterranean.(BD)

12 He will raise a banner(BE) for the nations
    and gather(BF) the exiles of Israel;(BG)
he will assemble the scattered people(BH) of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.(BI)
