The Prince of Peace
11
3 Not by appearances will he judge,
3 nor by what is said must he decide,
5 Justice will be the girdle of his waist,
5 truth the girdle of his loins.
7 Befriending each other, the cow and the bear
7 will see their young ones lie down together.
7 Like cattle, the lion will eat hay.
10 On that day the “Root of Jesse” will be raised as a signal for the nations. The people will come in search of him, thus making his dwelling place glorious. 11 On that day Yahweh will again raise his hand to reclaim the remnant of his people from Assyria; from Egypt, Pa thros and Ethiopia; from Elam, Shinar, Hamath and from the coast lands of the sea. 12 He will set up a signal that can be seen from all the countries and assemble the exiles of Israel; he will gather the scattered people of Judah from all the corners of the earth.
13 Then Ephraim will cast off its jealousy and Judah will be rid of its enemies. Ephraim will not envy Judah nor Judah be hostile to Ephraim. 14 But the two will sweep down together upon the shoulder of Philistia to the west and plunder the nations to the east. They will lay their hands upon Edom and Moab and make the Ammonites their subjects.
