Isaiah 9:7-13

7Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

8The Lord sent a word unto Jacob, and it lighteth upon Israel.

9And all the people shall know [it], Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart,

10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamore trees are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.

11And Jehovah will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and arm his enemies,

12the Syrians on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

13But the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and they do not seek Jehovah of hosts.
