    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    A little child leads wolves, leopards, lions, calves, and fatlings, while an infant plays beside a cobra’s den and a toddler reaches into a viper’s nest.

    The Branch and the peace of the mountainvv. 1–10

    A shoot rises from Jesse’s stump, and a Branch from his roots bears fruit. The Spirit of the LORD rests on Him with wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, and fear of the LORD. His judgement does not depend on eyes or ears: He judges the poor with righteousness and decides for the lowly with equity. His mouth strikes the earth, His breath slays the wicked, and righteousness and faithfulness hold Him together like a belt and sash. Then the animal kingdom becomes wonderfully impractical. Wolf and lamb, leopard and goat, calf and young lion, cow and bear all settle together, and a little child leads the procession. The lion eats straw, while infants and toddlers approach snakes without harm. The earth fills with the knowledge of the LORD, and the Root of Jesse becomes a banner sought by the nations.

    The scattered gathered homevv. 11–16

    On that day the Lord reaches out a second time for the remnant of His people, naming Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea. Israel’s exiles and Judah’s scattered people are gathered from the four corners of the earth. Ephraim’s jealousy departs, Judah no longer harasses Ephraim, and the two move together against Philistia and the sons of the east, laying hands on Edom and Moab while Ammon becomes subject to them. The LORD then sweeps His hand over the Euphrates with a scorching wind and divides it into seven streams, a remarkably exact number for a river suddenly required to provide dry sandals. Finally, a highway appears for the remnant coming from Assyria, recalling the road by which Israel came up from Egypt.

    5. Isa 11:5Righteousness will be the belt around His hips, and faithfulness the sash around His waist.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
