   Isaiah 11   
   The King of Peace Is Coming   
    1 A new branch will grow    
          from a stump of a tree;    
       so a new king will come    
          from the family of Jesse.[a]   
    2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon that king.    
          The Spirit will give him wisdom and understanding, guidance and power.    
          The Spirit will teach him to know and respect the Lord.   
    3 This king will be glad to obey the Lord.    
       He will not judge by the way things look    
          or decide by what he hears.   
    4 But he will judge the poor honestly;    
          he will be fair in his decisions for the poor people of the land.    
       At his command evil people will be punished,    
          and by his words the wicked will be put to death.   
    5 Goodness and fairness will give him strength,    
          like a belt around his waist.    
      
    6 Then wolves will live in peace with lambs,    
          and leopards will lie down to rest with goats.    
       Calves, lions, and young bulls will eat together,    
          and a little child will lead them.    
    7 Cows and bears will eat together in peace.    
          Their young will lie down to rest together.    
          Lions will eat hay as oxen do.   
    8 A baby will be able to play near a cobra's hole,    
          and a child will be able to put his hand into the nest of a poisonous   
   snake.   
    9 They will not hurt or destroy each other    
          on all my holy mountain,    
       because the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord,    
          as the sea is full of water.    
    10 At that time the new king from the family of Jesse will stand as a banner   
   for all peoples. The nations will come together around him, and the place   
   where he lives will be filled with glory.11 At that time the Lord will again   
   reach out and take his    
   people who are left alive in Assyria, North Egypt, South Egypt, Cush, Elam,   
   Babylonia, Hamath, and all the islands of the sea.   
    12 God will raise a banner as a sign for all nations,    
          and he will gather the people of Israel who were forced from their   
   country.    
       He will gather the scattered people of Judah    
          from all parts of the earth.   
    13 At that time Israel will not be jealous anymore,    
          and Judah will have no more enemies.    
       Israel will not be jealous of Judah,    
          and Judah will not hate Israel.   
    14 But Israel and Judah will attack the Philistines on the west.    
          Together they will take the riches from the people of the east.    
       They will conquer Edom and Moab,    
          and the people of Ammon will be under their control.   
    15 The Lord will dry up    
          the Red Sea of Egypt.    
       He will wave his arm over the Euphrates River    
          and dry it up with a scorching wind.    
       He will divide it into seven small rivers    
          so that people can walk across them with their sandals on.   
    16 So God's people who are left alive    
          will have a way to leave Assyria,    
       just like the time the Israelites    
          came out of Egypt.

   46 Earlier, in the time of David and Asaph, there was a leader of the singers   
   and of the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.47 So it was in the days of   
   Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. All the people of Israel gave something to the   
   singers and gatekeepers,    
   and they also set aside part for the Levites. Then the Levites set aside part   
   for the descendants of Aaron.

   23 Then I will put over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will feed them

   and my servant David will be a ruler among them. I, the Lord, have spoken.

    8 The Lord All-Powerful says, "At that time    
          I will break the yoke from their necks    
       and tear off the ropes that hold them.    
          Foreign people will never again make my people slaves.    
    9 They will serve the Lord their God    
          and David their king,    
          whom I will send to them.

   New Century Version (NCV)   
   Haggai 1   
   The Temple Is Rebuilt   
          
   It Is Time to Build the Temple   
    1 The prophet Haggai spoke the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel son of   
   Shealtiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high   
   priest. This message came in the second year that Darius was king, on the   
   first day of the sixth month:    
    2 "This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: 'The people say the right time   
   has not come to rebuild the Temple of the Lord.' "    
    3 Then Haggai the prophet spoke the word of the Lord:4 "Is it right for you   
   to be living in fancy houses while the Temple is still in ruins?"    
    5 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: "Think about what you have done.6   
   You have planted much, but you harvest little. You eat, but you do not become   
   full. You drink, but you are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but you are   
   not warm enough. You    
   earn money, but then you lose it all as if you had put it into a purse full of   
   holes."    
    7 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: "Think about what you have done.8   
   Go up to the mountains, bring back wood, and build the Temple. Then I will be   
   pleased with it and be honored," says the Lord.9 "You look for much, but you   
   find little. When you    
   bring it home, I destroy it. Why?" asks the Lord All-Powerful. "Because you   
   all work hard for your own houses while my house is still in ruins!10 Because   
   of what you have done, the sky holds back its rain and the ground holds back   
   its crops.11 I have    
   called for a time without rain on the land, and on the mountains, and on the   
   grain, the new wine, the olive oil, the plants which the earth produces, the   
   people, the farm animals, and all the work of your hands."
