Isaiah 11 — Context

And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.

And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

And he will not be guided in his judging by what he sees, or give decisions by the hearing of his ears:

But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
