Isaiah 11:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 11:5
Righteousness and faithfulness are Messiah's clothing—His essential characteristics, not merely external qualities. The belt/girdle held garments together for work and battle, suggesting these virtues equip Christ for His mission. 'Righteousness' (perfect conformity to God's law) and 'faithfulness' (unwavering commitment to God's purposes) define His character completely. Unlike human leaders whose integrity wavers, Christ's righteousness and faithfulness never fail. This describes the Messiah's perfect qualification to save and judge.
