4. For every boot that tramped in battle,every cloak rolled in blood,will be burned as fuel for fire.
5. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us;upon his shoulder dominion rests.They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero,Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.
6. His dominion is vastand forever peaceful,Upon David’s throne, and over his kingdom,which he confirms and sustainsBy judgment and justice,both now and forever.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this!
7. The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,and it falls upon Israel;
8. And all the people know it—Ephraim and those who dwell in Samaria—those who say in arrogance and pride of heart,
9. “Bricks have fallen,but we will rebuild with cut stone;Sycamores have been felled,but we will replace them with cedars.”
