Isaiah 9:4-7

^4 (A)For the yoke of his burden,
    ^(B)and the staff for his shoulder,

    and every garment rolled in blood
    will be burned as fuel for the fire.

    and his name shall be called^[b]
Wonderful ^(I)Counselor, ^(J)Mighty God,
    ^(K)Everlasting ^(L)Father, Prince of ^(M)Peace.
⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace
    ^(N)there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
    to establish it and to uphold it
^(O)with justice and with righteousness
    from this time forth and forevermore.
^(P)The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
