Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the stafl’ of his shoulder, the rod of his exactor, as in the day of Midian.

5 For every boot of him that is booted with tumult, and the cloke rolled in blood—it shall be for burning, for fuel of fire.

6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ’

7 To the increase of his government and to peace there is no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to establish it and to sustain it with judgment and with righteous- ness from henceforth and for ever. The jealousy of the LORD of Hosts will do this.

8 The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it shall fall upon Israel.
