Isaiah 11:3

Shall make him of quick understanding. Heb. ruach, here literally, “he shall inspire him,” meaning “he shall activate him.” He takes delight in performing the will of the Lord. His mind is God’s mind, His will is God’s will (see John 10:30; 14:10). Jesus revealed that He was divine, and lived out God’s righteousness before men; in fact, that was one reason why He came to earth (see on Matt. 1:23; Luke 2:49).

Sight of his eyes. Human beings are likely to judge according to appearances, but the counsel of Christ was, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24; see on 1 Sam. 16:7). It is said of Jesus that “he knew all men” and that “he knew what was in man” (John 2:24, 25). Every Christian should avoid judging “after the sight of his eyes,” and reproving others “after the hearing of his ears.” How many otherwise exemplary Christians form hurried opinions concerning their fellow Christians and criticize them on hearsay evidence!
