For a child has been born for us;
    a son has been given to us.
And the dominion will be on his shoulder,
    and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
        Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His dominion will grow continually,
    and to peace there will be no end[a]
on[b] the throne of David and over[c] his kingdom,
    to establish it[d] and sustain it
with justice and righteousness
    now and forever.
The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
