⁵ The boots of marching warriors
and the blood-stained uniforms
    have been fed to flames
    and eaten by fire.

⁶ A child has been born for us.
We have been given a son
    who will be our ruler.
His names will be
Wonderful Advisor
    and Mighty God,
Eternal Father
    and Prince of Peace.
^7 (A) His power will never end;
    peace will last forever.
He will rule David's kingdom
    and make it grow strong.

    with honesty and justice.
The Lord All-Powerful
will make certain
    that all of this is done.
