3And his delight shall be in the fear of Yahweh, and he shall not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.

4but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will put the wicked to death.

5Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
