David’s Line) B.C. 713
1 Out of the stump of David’s
family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the
old root.
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.
3 He will delight in obeying The
Lord. He will not Judge by appearance nor make a decision based on
hearsay.
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.
5 He will wear Righteousness like a
belt and Truth like an undergarment.
