Isaiah 11:1-10
(p. 1074)
So Samuel told them, delivered God’s
warning to the people who were asking
him to give them a king. He said, “This is
the way the kind of king you’re talking
about operates. He’ll take your sons and
make soldiers of them—chariotry,
cavalry, infantry, regimented in
battalions and squadrons.
1 Samuel 8
He’ll put some to forced labor on his
farms, plowing and harvesting, and
others to making either weapons of war
or chariots in which he can ride in
luxury. He’ll put your daughters to work
as beauticians and waitresses and cooks.
He’ll conscript your best fields,
vineyards, and orchards and hand them
over to his special friends.
1 Samuel 8
He’ll tax your harvests and vintage to
support his extensive bureaucracy. Your
prize workers and best animals he’ll take
for his own use. He’ll lay a tax on your
flocks and you’ll end up no better than
slaves. The day will come when you will
cry in desperation because of this king
you so much want for yourselves. But
don’t expect God to answer.”
1 Samuel 8
But the people wouldn’t listen to
Samuel. “No!” they said. “We will
have a king to rule us! Then we’ll be
just like all the other nations. Our
king will rule us and lead us and
fight our battles.”
1 Samuel 8
A shoot will come up from the
stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear
fruit.
Isaiah 11:1
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on
him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of
understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and
fear of the Lord—
Isaiah 11:2
and he will delight in the fear of
the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees
with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with
his ears;
Isaiah 11:3
but with righteousness he will judge
the needy,
with justice he will give decisions
for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod
of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will
slay the wicked.
Isaiah 11:4
Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around
his waist.
Isaiah 11:5
The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the
goat,
the calf and the lion and the
yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 11:6
The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The infant will play near the cobra’s
den,
and the young child will put its hand
into the viper’s nest.
Isaiah 11:7-8
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the
knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:9
In that day the Root of Jesse will
stand as a banner for the peoples; the
nations will rally to him, and his
resting place will be glorious.
Isaiah 11:10
Kingdom of God
Garden of Eden
A shoot will come up from the
stump of Jesse; from his roots a
Branch will bear fruit.
In that day the Root of Jesse will
stand as a banner for the peoples;
the nations will rally to him, and his
resting place will be glorious.

Then God said, “I give you every seedbearing plant on the face of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.
They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the
beasts of the earth and all the birds in the
sky and all the creatures that move along
the ground—everything that has the breath
of life in it—I give every green plant for
food.”
