Isaiah 11:5 Context
3And shal make him of quicke vnderstanding in the feare of the Lord, and he shall not iudge after the sight of his eyes, neither reproue after the hearing of his eares. 4But with righteousnesse shall he iudge the poore, and reprooue with equitie, for the meeke of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rodde of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5And righteousnesse shalbe the girdle of his loines, and faithfulnesse the girdle of his reines. 6The wolfe also shall dwell with the lambe, and the leopard shall lie downe with the kid: and the calfe and the yong lion, and the fatling together, and a litle child shall lead them. 7And the cow and the beare shall feed, their yong ones shall lie downe together: and the lyon shall eate straw like the oxe.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 11:5
11:5 The girdle - It shall adorn him, and be the glory of his government, as a girdle was used for an ornament, #Isa 3:24|, and as an ensign of power, #Job 12:18|, and it shall constantly cleave to him in all his administrations, as a girdle cleaveth to a man's loins.
