Isaiah 11:3-5

New Century Version

³ This king will be glad to obey the Lord.
He will not judge by the way things look
    or decide by what he hears.
⁴ But he will judge the poor honestly;
    he will be fair in his decisions for the poor people of the land.
At his command evil people will be punished,
    and by his words the wicked will be put to death.
⁵ Goodness and fairness will give him strength,
    like a belt around his waist.
