Fire will destroy every shoe that the soldiers wore to march into the battle. Their clothes which have the blood of war on them will also go into the fire.

Yes, your people are happy! A child has been born for us. We now have a son with the authority to rule. His names will be:

Wonderful Advisor,

Mighty God,

Father for Ever,

Ruler who brings Peace.

His authority to rule will be very great. The peace that he brings will never have an end. He will rule as king over David's kingdom. He will make it strong and safe, because he will do what is right and fair. He will rule like that now and for ever. The Lord Almighty will make those things happen, because he loves his people.
