And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
