Ésaïe donne à espérer qu'un tel roi sera donné au peuple de Dieu. Il emploiera son autorité à éclairer les pensée, à faire réfléchir et à protéger contre les agissements des malfaisants. Chacun, grâce à lui, retrouvera sa noblesse. selon les principes de la justice; les princes exerceront le pouvoir conformément au droit.
