"And the 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 of the fear of the Lord; and shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears: but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins." "And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious." Isaiah 11:2-5, 10.

"Og Herrens Ånd skal hvile over ham, visdoms og forstands ånd, råds og styrkes ånd, Herrens kundskabs og frygts ånd. Hans hu står til Herrens frygt; han dømmer ej efter, hvad øjnene ser, skønner ej efter, hvad ørene hører. Han dømmer de ringe med retfærd, fælder redelig dom over landets arme. Voldsmanden slår han med mundens ris, gudløse dræber han med læbernes ånde. Og retfærd er bæltet, han har om sin lænd, trofasthed hofternes bælte." På hin dag skal hedningerne søge til Isajs rodskud, der står som et banner for folkeslagene, og hans bolig skal være herlig." Es. 11,2-5. 10.
