Isaiah 11:1-2

The Voice

11 But on this humbled ground, a tiny shoot, hopeful and promising,
    will sprout from Jesse’s stump;
A branch will emerge from his roots to bear fruit.
² And on this child from David’s line, the Spirit of the Eternal One will alight and rest.

By the Spirit of knowledge and reverence of the Eternal One,
