Come II ~

A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse,

 and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
The spirit of the LORD shall 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.
His delight shall be in the

 fear of the LORD.

 He shall not judge by what his eyes see,

 or decide by what his ears hear;

Isaiah 11:1-3
