7 Of the increase of His government and peace
^aThere will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The ^bzeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. ‡

8 The Lord sent a word against ^aJacob,
And it has fallen on Israel. ‡

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,

12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is¹ stretched out still. ‡
