2  And ^dthe Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,

the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and might,

the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

5  Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,

and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

12  He will ⁿraise a signal for the nations

and will ^oassemble the banished of Israel,

and ^pgather the dispersed of Judah

from the four corners of the earth.

13  The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,

and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;

^qEphraim shall not be jealous of Judah,

and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

14  But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,

and together they shall plunder the people of the east.

They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab,

and the Ammonites shall obey them.

15  And the Lord will utterly destroy²

the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,

and will ^rwave his hand over the River³

with his scorching breath,⁴

and strike it into seven channels,

^sand he will lead people across in sandals.

16  And there will be a ^thighway from Assyria

for the remnant that remains of his people,

as there was for Israel

when they came up from the land of Egypt.

1  You⁵ will say in that day:

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,

for though you were angry with me,

^uyour anger turned away,

that you might ^vcomfort me.

2  “Behold, God is my salvation;

I will ^wtrust, and will not be afraid;

for ^xthe Lord God⁶ is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation.”

^z“Give thanks to the Lord,

call upon his name,

make known his deeds among the peoples,

proclaim that his name is exalted.

5  “Sing praises to the Lord, ^afor he has done gloriously;

let this be made known⁸ in all the earth.

6  ^bShout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,

for great in your⁹ midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
