“On that day,
A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse,
and from his roots a bud shall blossom.
The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:
a spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
A spirit of counsel and of strength,
a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord,
and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord,
Not by appearance shall he judge,
not by hearsay shall he decide,
But he shall judge the poor with justice,
and decide aright for the land’s afflicted…
Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
The calf and the young lion shall browse together,
with a little child to lead them.”
(Isaiah 11: 1-7)
