¶ The .xi. Chapter.
¶ He prophecieth of the natiuite of Christ and of hys
people: of the remnaunt of Israel, and of the fayth of
the Heathen or gentyles.
A And there shall come a rodd forth
of the kynred of Isai, and a blossome
shall florish out of hys rote.
The sprete of þe; Lord shall lyght
vpon hym: the sprete of wysdome, and vnderst&abar;dynge:
þe; sprete of councell, ∧ strength
the sprete of knowledge, and of the feare of
the Lorde: and shall make hym feruent in
the feare of God.
For he shall not geue sentence, after the
thyng that shal be brought before his eyes,
nether reproue a matter at þe; fyrst hearing:
but &wt; ryghteousnesse shal he iudge þe; poore,
-- --
and with holynes shal he refourme the simple
of the worlde.
He shall smyte the worlde with the rodd
of hys mouth, ∧ &wt; the breath of hys mouth
shall he staye the vngodly. Ryghteousnesse
shalbe the gyrdle of his loynes, &club; trueth ∧
faythfulnesse, the gyrdynge vp of hys raynes.
The wolfe shall dwell with the lambe,
and the Leoparde shal lye downe by þe; goate.
Bullockes, Ly&obar;s ∧ catell shall kepe company
together, so þt; a lytle chylde shall rule
them. The kowe ∧ the Bere shall fede together,
∧ their yonge ones shall lye together.
B The Ly&obar; shall eate strawe lyke the oxe, or
the kowe. The childe whyle he sucketh, shal
haue a desire to the serp&ebar;tes nest, and when
he is weaned, he shall put hys h&abar;de into the
Cockatryce denne. No man shall do euel to
another, no m&abar; shal destroye another, in all
the hyll of my holynes. For the earth shalbe
full of the knowledge of the Lord, eu&ebar; as
the see floweth ouer with water.
And in þt; daye shal the gentyles enquere
after þe; rote of Iesse which shalbe set vp for
a token vnto the people, ∧ hys dwellynge
shalbe glorious. At þe; same time shal þe; lord
take in hande agayne,
C to conquere the remna&ubar;t
of his people (which shalbe left alyue)
From the Assyri&abar;s, Egypcians, Arabi&abar;s,
Mori&abar;s, Elamites, Caldeyes, Antiochi&abar;s
and fr&obar; the Ilandes of the see. And he shall
sett vp a token amonge the Gentyles, and
gather together the dispersed of Israel, yee
∧ the out castes of Iuda from the foure corners
of the worlde. The hatred of Ephraim
also and enemyes of Iuda shalbe cleane roted
oute. Ephraim shall beare no euell will
to Iuda, and Iuda shal not hate Ephraim:
but they both together shall flye vpon the
D
shoulders of þe; Philistines toward the west,
and spoyle th&ebar; together that dwell towarde
the East. The Idumytes and the Moabites
shall lett their handes fall, ∧ the Ammonites
shalbe obedient vnto them.
The Lorde also shall cleue the tunges of
the Egypcians see, ∧ with a myghtie wynde
shall he lyft vp his h&abar;de ouer Nilus, and
shall smyte hys seuen streames, and make
men go ouer drye shod. And thus shal there
be awaye for his people, þt; remayneth from
the Assirians, lyke as it happened to the Israelites,
what tyme they departed out of þe;
land of Egypt.
