⁶ For a ^(A)Child will be born to us, a ^(B)Son will be given to us;
And the ^(C)government will ^[a]rest ^(D)on His shoulders;
And His name will be called ^(E)Wonderful Counselor, ^(F)Mighty God,
Eternal ^(G)Father, Prince of ^(H)Peace.
⁷ There will be ^(I)no end to the increase of His government or of peace
On the ^(J)throne of David and over ^[b]his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with ^(K)justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
^(L)The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this.

¹² For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I extend ^(A)peace to her like a river,
And the ^(B)glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
And you will ^[a]be nursed, you will be ^(C)carried on the ^[b]hip and rocked back and forth on the knees.
