Isaiah 9:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ The boots of the invading army
    and all their bloodstained clothing
    will be destroyed by fire.
⁶ A child is born to us!
    A son is given to us!
    And he will be our ruler.
He will be called, “Wonderful^[a] Counselor,”
    “Mighty God,” “Eternal Father,”
    “Prince of Peace.”
^7 (A)His royal power will continue to grow;
    his kingdom will always be at peace.
He will rule as King David's successor,
    basing his power on right and justice,
    from now until the end of time.
The Lord Almighty is determined to do all this.
