1 And there shall come forth H3318 a rod H2415 out of the stem H1503 of Jesse, H3448 and a Branch H5342 shall grow H6509 out of his roots: H8328
And in that day H3117 there shall be a root H8328 of Jesse, H3448 which shall stand H5975 for an ensign H5251 of the people; H5971 to it shall the Gentiles H1471 seek: H1875 and his rest H4496 shall be glorious. H3519
For he shall grow up H5927 before H6440 him as a tender plant, H3126 and as a root H8328 out of a dry H6723 ground: H776 he hath no form H8389 nor comeliness; H1926 and when we shall see H7200 him, there is no beauty H4758 that we should desire H2530 him.
And speak H559 unto him, saying, H559 Thus speaketh H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 saying, H559 Behold the man H376 whose name H8034 is The BRANCH; H6780 and he shall grow up H6779 out of his place, and he shall build H1129 the temple H1964 of the LORD: H3068
And G2532 when he had removed G3179 him, G846 he raised up G1453 unto them G846 David G1138 to be G1519 their king; G935 to whom G3739 also G2532 he gave testimony, G3140 and said, G2036 I have found G2147 David G1138 the son of Jesse, G2421 a man G435 after G2596 mine own G3450 heart, G2588 which G3739 shall fulfil G4160 all G3956 my G3450 will. G2307 Of G575 this man's G5127 seed G4690 hath G1453 God G2316 according G2596 to his promise G1860 raised G1453 unto Israel G2474 a Saviour, G4990 Jesus: G2424
And G2532 one G1520 of G1537 the elders G4245 saith G3004 unto me, G3427 Weep G2799 not: G3361 behold, G2400 the Lion G3023 of G5607 G1537 the tribe G5443 of Juda, G2455 the Root G4491 of David, G1138 hath prevailed G3528 to open G455 the book, G975 and G2532 to loose G3089 the seven G2033 seals G4973 thereof. G846
Of the increase H4766 of his government H4951 and peace H7965 there shall be no end, H7093 upon the throne H3678 of David, H1732 and upon his kingdom, H4467 to order H3559 it, and to establish H5582 it with judgment H4941 and with justice H6666 from henceforth even for H5704 ever. H5769 The zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 will perform H6213 this.
Hear H8085 now, O Joshua H3091 the high H1419 priest, H3548 thou, and thy fellows H7453 that sit H3427 before H6440 thee: for they are men H582 wondered at: H4159 for, behold, I will bring forth H935 my servant H5650 the BRANCH. H6780
And Saul H7586 said H559 to him, Whose son H1121 art thou, thou young man? H5288 And David H1732 answered, H559 I am the son H1121 of thy servant H5650 Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite. H1022
And G1161 Jesse G2421 begat G1080 David G1138 the king; G935 and G1161 David G1138 the king G935 begat G1080 Solomon G4672 of G1537 her G3588 that had been the wife of Urias; G3774 And G1161 Solomon G4672 begat G1080 Roboam; G4497 and G1161 Roboam G4497 begat G1080 Abia; G7 and G1161 Abia G7 begat G1080 Asa; G760 And G1161 Asa G760 begat G1080 Josaphat; G2498 and G1161 Josaphat G2498 begat G1080 Joram; G2496 and G1161 Joram G2496 begat G1080 Ozias; G3604 And G1161 Ozias G3604 begat G1080 Joatham; G2488 and G1161 Joatham G2488 begat G1080 Achaz; G881 and G1161 Achaz G881 begat G1080 Ezekias; G1478 And G1161 Ezekias G1478 begat G1080 Manasses; G3128 and G1161 Manasses G3128 begat G1080 Amon; G300 and G1161 Amon G300 begat G1080 Josias; G2502 And G1161 Josias G2502 begat G1080 Jechonias G2423 and G2532 his G846 brethren, G80 about the time G1909 they were carried away G3350 to Babylon: G897 And G1161 after G3326 they were brought G3350 to Babylon, G897 Jechonias G2423 begat G1080 Salathiel; G4528 and G1161 Salathiel G4528 begat G1080 Zorobabel; G2216 And G1161 Zorobabel G2216 begat G1080 Abiud; G10 and G1161 Abiud G10 begat G1080 Eliakim; G1662 and G1161 Eliakim G1662 begat G1080 Azor; G107 And G1161 Azor G107 begat G1080 Sadoc; G4524 and G1161 Sadoc G4524 begat G1080 Achim; G885 and G1161 Achim G885 begat G1080 Eliud; G1664 And G1161 Eliud G1664 begat G1080 Eleazar; G1648 and G1161 Eleazar G1648 begat G1080 Matthan; G3157 and G1161 Matthan G3157 begat G1080 Jacob; G2384 And G1161 Jacob G2384 begat G1080 Joseph G2501 the husband G435 of Mary, G3137 of G1537 whom G3739 was born G1080 Jesus, G2424 who G3588 is called G3004 Christ. G5547
(As G2531 it is written G1125 in G1722 the law G3551 of the Lord, G2962 G3754 Every G3956 male G730 that openeth G1272 the womb G3388 shall be called G2564 holy G40 to the Lord;) G2962 And G2532 to offer G1325 a sacrifice G2378 according G2596 to that which is said G2046 in G1722 the law G3551 of the Lord, G2962 A pair G2201 of turtledoves, G5167 or G2228 two G1417 young G3502 pigeons. G4058 And, G2532 behold, G2400 there was G2258 a man G444 in G1722 Jerusalem, G2419 whose G3739 name G3686 was Simeon; G4826 and G2532 the same G3778 man G444 was just G1342 and G2532 devout, G2126 waiting G4327 for the consolation G3874 of Israel: G2474 and G2532 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 was G2258 upon G1909 him. G846 And G2532 it was G2258 revealed G5537 unto him G846 by G5259 the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 that he should G1492 not G3361 see G1492 death, G2288 before G4250 G2228 he had seen G1492 the Lord's G2962 Christ. G5547 And G2532 he came G2064 by G1722 the Spirit G4151 into G1519 the temple: G2411 and G2532 when the parents G1118 brought G1521 in G1722 the child G3813 Jesus, G2424 to do G4160 G846 for G4012 him G846 after G2596 the custom G1480 of the law, G3551 Then G2532 took G1209 he G846 him G846 up G1209 in G1519 his G846 arms, G43 and G2532 blessed G2127 God, G2316 and G2532 said, G2036 Lord, G1203 now G3568 lettest thou G630 thy G4675 servant G1401 depart G630 in G1722 peace, G1515 according G2596 to thy G4675 word: G4487 For G3754 mine G3450 eyes G3788 have seen G1492 thy G4675 salvation, G4992 Which G3739 thou hast prepared G2090 before G2596 the face G4383 of all G3956 people; G2992 A light G5457 to G1519 lighten G602 the Gentiles, G1484 and G2532 the glory G1391 of thy G4675 people G2992 Israel.

Commentary on Isaiah 11 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 11
It is a very good transition in prophecy (whether it be so in rhetoric or no), and a very common one, to pass from the prediction of the temporal deliverances of the church to that of the great salvation, which in the fulness of time should be wrought out by Jesus Christ, of which the other were types and figures, to which all the prophets bore witness; and so the ancient Jews understood them. For what else was it that raised so great an expectation of the Messiah at the time he came. Upon occasion of the prophecy of the deliverance of Jerusalem from Sennacherib, here comes in a prophecy concerning Messiah the Prince.
Isa 11:1-9
The prophet had before, in this sermon, spoken of a child that should be born, a son that should be given, on whose shoulders the government should be, intending this for the comfort of the people of God in times of trouble, as dying Jacob, many ages before, had intended the prospect of Shiloh for the comfort of his seed in their affliction in Egypt. He had said (ch. 10:27) that the yoke should be destroyed because of the anointing; now here he tells us on whom that anointing should rest. He foretels,
Isa 11:10-16
We have here a further prophecy of the enlargement and advancement of the kingdom of the Messiah, under the type and figure of the flourishing condition of the kingdom of Judah in the latter end of Hezekiah's reign, after the defeat of Sennacherib.
