Isaiah 11:2

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

Shall we turn to Isaiah, chapter 11, for the beginning of our study this evening.In the tenth chapter, the closing part of chapter 10 of Isaiah, and again, let me remind you that the chapter distinctions were made by men, not by the authors.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:1-16

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:2

2. The Spirit of the Lord The Holy Spirit of Jehovah, who communicates the whole creative fulness of divine powers. Shall rest upon him In dove-like descent, as at the Jordan, with fulness of miraculous powers, and upon his person as the true temple. Three pairs of virtues now follow. Wisdom and understanding These are poetically joined, but perhaps as equivalent expressions. They relate to the intellectual life.
