Isaiah 11:4
Douay-Rheims
But he shall judge the poor with justice, and shall reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: land he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
Ibn Ezra
And he will judge the poor with justice. According to the rule, Neither shalt thou countenance the poor in his cause (Exod. 33:3). ביושר = במישור With equity. לענוי ארץ The meek of the earth. The good. With the rod of his mouth. With his mouth, which is, as it were, a rod for the wicked.
