and a branch^(B) from his roots will bear fruit.
² The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him^(C) –
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

² He grew up before him like a young plant^(A)
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at him,
no appearance that we should desire him.^(B)
