Isaiah 11:1-12:6 GW
Then a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit. [Jesus was a descendant of King David and of David's father Jesse.(Luke 1:30-33)] (2) The Spirit of the LORD [יהוה] will rest on him- the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of advice and power, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD [יהוה]. (3) He will gladly bear the fear of the LORD [יהוה].
He will not judge by what his eyes see or decide by what his ears hear. (4) He will judge the poor justly. He will make fair decisions for the humble people on earth. He will strike the earth with a rod from his mouth. He will kill the wicked with the breath from his lips. (5) Justice will be the belt around his waist. Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips. (6) Wolves will live with lambs. Leopards will lie down with goats. Calves, young lions, and year-old lambs will be together, and little children will lead them. (7) Cows and bears will eat together. Their young will lie down together. Lions will eat straw like oxen. (8) Infants will play near cobras' holes. Toddlers will put their hands into vipers' nests. (9) They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain [Zion]. (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4) The world will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD [יהוה] like water covering the sea. (10) At that time the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the people to gather around. The nations will come to him. His resting place will be glorious. (11) At that time the Lord will use his power again to recover what remains of his people in Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt, Sudan, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and the islands of the sea. (12) He will raise a banner for the nations to gather around. He will gather the outcasts of Israel and bring together the scattered people of Judah from the four corners of the earth. (13) Ephraim's jealousy will vanish, and Judah's opponents will come to an end. Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't oppose Ephraim. (14) They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia in the west. Together they will loot the people of the east. They will conquer Edom and Moab. The people of Ammon will be subject to them. (15) The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea. He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River with his scorching wind and divide it into seven streams so that people can walk over it in their sandals. (16) There will be a highway for the remaining few of his people left in Assyria like there was for Israel when it came out of Egypt.
Isaiah 12:1-6 GW At that time you will say, "I will praise you, O LORD [יהוה]. Although you had been angry with me, you turned your anger away from me, and you comforted me.
All that was bad is gone! (Rev 21:1-4)

(2) Look! God is my Savior. I am confident and unafraid, because the LORD is my strength and my song. He is my Savior." (3) With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation. (4) At that time you will say, "Praise the LORD [יהוה]. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the nations. Make them remember that his name is highly honored. (5) Make music to praise the LORD [יהוה]. He has done wonderful things. Let this be known throughout the earth. (6) Shout loudly, and sing with joy, people of Zion! The Holy One of Israel is great. He is among you."
[Judah is the greatgrandson of Abraham and so this and all promises to Abraham and his descendants, whether or not they are born through Israel, apply to the followers of Christ (Gal 3:26-29) They all willingly live under the kingdom of Christ; under Zion. (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4)]
Isaiah 11:1-12:6 CEV
(1) Like a branch that sprouts from a stump, someone from David's family will someday be king. [Jesus was a descendant of King David through David's father Jesse.(Luke 1:30-33)]
(2) The Spirit of the LORD [יהוה] will be with him to give him wisdom and insight. He will be powerful, and he will know and honor the LORD [יהוה].
(3) His greatest joy will be to obey the LORD [יהוה]. This king [Christ Jesus] won't judge by appearances or listen to rumors.
(4) The poor and the needy will be treated with fairness and with justice. His word will be law everywhere in the land, and criminals will be put to death.
(5) Honesty and fairness will be his royal robes.
(6) Leopards will lie down with young goats, and wolves will rest with lambs. Calves and lions will eat together and be cared for by little children.
(7) Cows and bears will share the same pasture; their young will rest side by side. Lions and oxen will both eat straw.
(8) Little children will play near snake holes. They will stick their hands into dens of poisonous snakes and never be hurt.
(9) Nothing harmful will take place on the LORD's יהוה's holy mountain [Zion]. (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4) Just as water fills the sea, the land will be filled with people who know and honor the LORD [יהוה]. (Proverbs 30:4)
(10) The time is coming when one of David's descendants [Jesus] will be the signal for the people of all nations to come together. They will follow his advice, and his own nation will become famous.
(11) When that day comes, the Lord will again reach out his mighty arm and bring home his people who have survived in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the land along the coast.
(12) He will give a signal to the nations, and he will bring together the refugees from Judah and Israel (followers of Christ), who have been scattered all over the earth. (13) Israel will stop being jealous of Judah, and Judah will no longer be the enemy of Israel. (14) Instead, they will get together and attack the Philistines in the west. Then they will defeat the Edomites, the Moabites, and the Ammonites in the east. They will rule those people and take from them whatever they want. (15) The Lord will dry up the arm of the Red Sea near Egypt, and he will send a scorching wind to divide the Euphrates River into seven streams that anyone can step across. (16) Then for his people who survive, there will be a good road from Assyria, just as there was a good road for their ancestors when they left Egypt.
Isaiah 12:1-6 CEV At that time you will say, "I thank you, LORD [יהוה]! You were angry with me, but you stopped being angry and gave me comfort. (2) I trust you to save me, LORD [יהוה] God, and I won't be afraid. My power and my strength come from you, and you have saved me." (3) With great joy, you people will get water from the well of victory. (4) At that time you will say, "Our LORD [יהוה], we are thankful, and we worship only you. We will tell the nations how glorious you are and what you have done. (5) Because of your wonderful deeds we will sing your praises everywhere on earth." (6) Sing, people of Zion! Celebrate the greatness of the holy LORD [יהוה] of Israel. God is here to help you.

Isaiah 11:1-12:6 MKJV
(1) And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. [Jesus was a descendant of King David through David's father Jesse.(Luke 1:30-33)]
(2) And the Spirit of Jehovah [יהוה] shall rest on Him [Jesus], the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah [יהוה].
(3) And He is made to breathe in the fear of Jehovah [יהוה]. And He [Jesus the king] shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.
(4) But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with uprightness for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
(5) And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His heart.
(6) Also the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the cub lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
(7) And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
(8) And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
(9) They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain [Zion]; (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4) for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea. (Proverbs 30:4)
(10) And in that day there shall be the root of Jesse standing for a banner of the people; to Him the nations shall seek; and His resting place shall be glorious.
(11) And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again set His hand, the second time, to recover the remnant of His people that remains, from Assyria and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Persia, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the coasts of the sea.
(12) And He shall lift up a banner for the nations, and shall gather the outcasts of Israel and gather together the scattered ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth. (13) And the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the foes of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not trouble Ephraim. (14) But they shall fly on the shoulders of the Philistines to the west; they shall spoil the sons of the east together; they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the sons of Ammon shall obey them.
(15) And Jehovah shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with His scorching wind He shall shake His hand over the River, and shall strike it into seven streams, and make one tread it with shoes.
(16) And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Assyria; as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 12:1-6 MKJV And in that day you shall say, O Jehovah [יהוה], I will praise You; though You were angry with me, turn away Your anger, and You shall comfort me. (2) Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid for the LORD Jehovah [יהוה] is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation. (3) And with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation. (4) And in that day you shall say, Praise Jehovah [יהוה]! Call on His name; declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted. (5) Sing to Jehovah [יהוה]; for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth. (6) Cry out and shout, O dweller of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst.
[Judah is the greatgrandson of Abraham and so this and all promises to Abraham and his descendants, whether or not they are born through Israel, apply to the followers of Christ (Gal 3:26-29) They all willingly live under the kingdom of Christ; under Zion. (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4)]
Isaiah 11:1-12:6 NWT
. . .And there must go forth a twig out of the stump of Jesse; and out of his roots a sprout will be fruitful. [Jesus was a descendant of King David through David's father Jesse.(Luke 1:30-33)] 2 And upon him the spirit of Jehovah [יהוה] must settle down, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and of mightiness, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah; 3 and there will be enjoyment by him in the fear of Jehovah [יהוה]. And he will not judge by any mere appearance to his eyes, nor reprove simply according to the thing heard by his ears. 4 And with righteousness he must judge the lowly ones, and with uprightness he must give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth. And he must strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the spirit of his lips he will put the wicked one to death. 5 And righteousness must prove to be the belt of his hips, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. 6 And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain [Zion]; (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4) because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea. 10 And it must occur in that day that there will be the root of Jesse that will be standing up as a signal for the peoples. To him even the nations will turn inquiringly, and his resting-place must become glorious. 11 And it must occur in that day that Jehovah will again offer his hand, a second time, to acquire the remnant of his people who will remain over from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Shinar and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. 12 And he will certainly raise up a signal for the nations and gather the dispersed ones of Israel; and the scattered ones of Judah he will collect together from the four extremities of the earth. 13 And the jealousy of E´phra·im must depart, and even those showing hostility to Judah will be cut off. E´phra·im itself will not be jealous of Judah, nor will Judah show hostility toward E´phra·im. 14 And they must fly at the shoulder of the Phi·lis´tines to the west; together they will plunder the sons of the East. E´dom and Mo´ab will be those upon whom they will thrust out their hand, and the sons of Am´mon will be their subjects. 15 And Jehovah [יהוה] will certainly cut off the tongue of the Egyptian sea, and wave his hand at the River in the glow of his spirit. And he must strike it in [its] seven torrents, and he will actually cause people to walk in [their] sandals. 16 And there must come to be a highway out of As·syr´i·a for the remnant of his people who will remain over, just as there came to be [one] for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt.
12:1 And in that day you will be sure to say: “I shall thank you, O Jehovah [יהוה], for [although] you got incensed at me, your anger gradually turned back, and you proceeded to comfort me. 2 Look! God is my salvation. I shall trust and be in no dread; for Jah Jehovah [יהוה] is my strength and [my] might, and he came to be the salvation of me.”
3 With exultation YOU people will be certain to draw water out of the springs of salvation. 4 And in that day YOU will certainly say: “Give thanks to Jehovah [יהוה], YOU people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high. 5 Make melody to Jehovah [יהוה], for he has done surpassingly. This is made known in all the earth.
6 “Cry out shrilly and shout for joy, O you inhabitress of Zion, for great in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel.”
[Judah is the greatgrandson of Abraham and so this and all promises to Abraham and his descendants, whether or not they are born through Israel, apply to the followers of Christ (Gal 3:26-29) They all willingly live under the kingdom of Christ; under Zion. (Rev 14:1; Rev 3:12; Rev 21:1-4)]
