The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall bstrike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 11:4
With the rod of his mouth "By the blast of his mouth" - For beshebet , by the rod, Houbigant reads beshebeth , by the blast of his mouth, from nashab , to blow. The conjecture is ingenious and probable; and seems to be confirmed by the Septuagint and Chaldee, who render it by the word of his mouth, which answers much better to the correction than to the present reading. Add to this, that the blast of his mouth is perfectly parallel to the breath of his lips in the next line.
