And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
And he will have keen insight in reverence for the LORD, and he won't judge based on what he sees with his eyes or make decisions based only on what he hears with his ears.
This verse describes how the coming Messiah will have divine wisdom and won't judge people based on appearances or rumors, but with God's perfect understanding.
