2 Nephi 21
The stem of Jesse (Christ) will judge in righteousness—The knowledge of God will cover the earth in the Millennium—The Lord will raise an ensign and gather Israel—Compare Isaiah 11. About 559–545 B.C.
a
And
there
shall
b
come
forth
a
rod
out
of
the
c
stem
of
Jesse,
and
a
d
branch
shall
grow
out
of
his
roots.
2 And
the
a
Spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
rest
upon
him,
the
spirit
of
b
wisdom
and
c
understanding,
the
spirit
of
counsel
and
might,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
and
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord;
3 And
shall
make
him
of
quick
understanding
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord;
and
he
shall
not
a
judge
after
the
sight
of
his
eyes,
neither
reprove
after
the
hearing
of
his
ears.
4 But
with
a
righteousness
shall
he
b
judge
the
poor,
and
reprove
with
equity
for
the
c
meek
of
the
earth;
and
he
shall
d
smite
the
earth
with
the
e
rod
of
his
mouth,
and
with
the
breath
of
his
lips
shall
he
slay
the
wicked.
5 And
a
righteousness
shall
be
the
girdle
of
his
loins,
and
faithfulness
the
girdle
of
his
reins.
6 The
a
wolf
also
shall
dwell
with
the
lamb,
and
the
leopard
shall
lie
down
with
the
kid,
and
the
calf
and
the
young
lion
and
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
sucking
child
shall
play
on
the
hole
of
the
asp,
and
the
weaned
child
shall
put
his
hand
on
the
cockatrice's
den.
9 They
shall
a
not
hurt
nor
b
destroy
in
all
my
holy
mountain,
for
the
c
earth
shall
be
full
of
the
d
knowledge
of
the
Lord,
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
10 And
in
that
day
there
shall
be
a
a
root
of
Jesse,
which
shall
stand
for
an
ensign
of
the
people;
to
it
shall
the
b
Gentiles
seek;
and
his
c
rest
shall
be
glorious.
11 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day
that
the
Lord
shall
set
his
hand
again
the
a
second
time
to
recover
the
remnant
of
his
people
which
shall
be
left,
from
b
Assyria,
and
from
Egypt,
and
from
Pathros,
and
from
Cush,
and
from
Elam,
and
from
c
Shinar,
and
from
Hamath,
and
from
the
islands
of
the
sea.
12 And
he
shall
set
up
an
a
ensign
for
the
nations,
and
shall
assemble
the
b
outcasts
of
Israel,
and
c
gather
together
the
dispersed
of
Judah
from
the
four
corners
of
the
earth.
13 The
a
envy
of
Ephraim
also
shall
depart,
and
the
adversaries
of
Judah
shall
be
cut
off;
Ephraim
shall
not
b
envy
c
Judah,
and
Judah
shall
not
vex
Ephraim.
14 But
they
shall
fly
upon
the
shoulders
of
the
a
Philistines
towards
the
west;
they
shall
spoil
them
of
the
east
together;
they
shall
lay
their
hand
upon
b
Edom
and
c
Moab;
and
the
children
of
Ammon
shall
obey
them.
15 And
the
Lord
shall
utterly
a
destroy
the
tongue
of
the
Egyptian
sea;
and
with
his
mighty
wind
he
shall
shake
his
hand
over
the
river,
and
shall
smite
it
in
the
seven
streams,
and
make
men
go
over
b
dry
shod.
16 And
there
shall
be
a
a
highway
for
the
remnant
of
his
people
which
shall
be
left,
from
Assyria,
like
as
it
was
to
Israel
in
the
day
that
he
came
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
