Every boot that marched in battle
    and every uniform stained with blood
    has been thrown into the fire.
A child has been born to us;
    God has given a son to us.
    He will be responsible for leading the people.
His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God,
    Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.
Power and peace will be in his kingdom
    and will continue to grow forever.
He will rule as king on David’s throne
    and over David’s kingdom.
He will make it strong
    by ruling with justice and goodness
    from now on and forever.
The Lord All-Powerful will do this
    because of his strong love for his people.

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

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