1
will someday be king.
2The Spirit of the Lord
will be with him
to give him understanding,
wisdom, and insight.
He will be powerful,
and he will know
and honor the Lord.
3His greatest joy will be
to obey the Lord.
This king won't judge
by appearances
or listen to rumors.
4The 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 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.
11When 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.
12He will give a signal to the nations, and he will bring together the refugees from Judah and Israel, who have been scattered all over the earth.
13Israel will stop being jealous of Judah, and Judah will no longer be the enemy of Israel.
14Instead, 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 and he will send a scorching wind to divide the Euphrates River into seven streams that anyone can step across.
16Then 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.
