Isaiah 11:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.

He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    or decide by what his ears hear;
⁴but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
⁵Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
