- 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 Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
- Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
- The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
- And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
- The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

- For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
- The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel.
- All the people will know it-- Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria-- who say with pride and arrogance of heart,
- "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars."
