Isaiah 11

1 He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. 2 But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. 3 Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord: 4 And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. 5 Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. 6 And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. 8 Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name, 9 Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. 10 How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities? 11 Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies. 12 Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two? 13 He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force. 14 He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. 15 That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one: 16 And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring.
