From King David's family tree
A Branch will grow and bear fruit
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him
The Spirit of wisdom and truth,
Of knowledge and understanding
The Spirit of counsel and might;
In the fear of the Lord,
He will certainly delight
He will not judge
By what He hears or sees
But with righteousness and justice
He will reprove with equity
By His word, He will shake the earth
And the wicked, He will slay
Righteousness will be His belt,
Faithfulness, a sash around HIs waist
The wolf will lie with the lamb
The goat will lie with the leopard
The lion and the yearling together
And a little child will be their shepherd
The cow will feed with the bear
Their young will not be afraid
The lion will eat straw like the ox
The infant will not fear the snake
Nothing will harm nor destroy
Upon God's holy mountain,
For all will be permeated with God
As the waters cover the ocean

Inspired by Isaiah 11:1-9
