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 the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this. 8The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel. 9All the people will know it— Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:
