For [a]all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called [b]Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, [c]Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
