Isaiah 9:7–9

7 Of the greatness of his government and peace

there will be no end.

He will reign on David’s throne

and over his kingdom,

establishing and upholding it

with justice and righteousness

from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the Lord Almighty

will accomplish this.

8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob;

it will fall on Israel.

9 All the people will know it—

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—

who say with pride

and arrogance of heart,

7 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.

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob,

And it hath lighted upon Israel.

9 And all the people shall know,

Even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,

That say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

7 His government and its peace

will never end.

He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David

for all eternity.

The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

will make this happen!

8 The Lord has spoken out against Jacob;

his judgment has fallen upon Israel.

9 And the people of Israel and Samaria,

who spoke with such pride and arrogance,

will soon know it.

7 Of the increase of His government and peace

There 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 zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,

And it has fallen on Israel.

9 All the people will know—

Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—

Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:

7 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.

8 The Lord sent a message against the people of Jacob;

it says that God will judge Israel.

9 Then everyone in Israel, even the leaders in Samaria,

will know that God has sent it.

Those people are proud and brag by saying,

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

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,

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

8 The Lord sent a word unto Jacob, and it lighteth upon Israel. 9 And all the people shall know it, Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart,

7 His government and peace will have unlimited growth. 

He will establish David’s throne and kingdom. 

He will uphold it with justice and righteousness now and forever. 

The Lord of Armies is determined to do this! 

8 The Lord sent a message against Jacob. 

The message is against Israel. 

9 All the people of Ephraim 

and the people who live in Samaria will know it. 

With arrogant and conceited hearts they will say, 

7 The dominion will be vast,

and its prosperity will never end.

He will reign on the throne of David

and over his kingdom,

to establish and sustain it

with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.

The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

8 The Lord sent a message against Jacob;

it came against Israel.

9 All the people—

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria —will know it.

They will say with pride and arrogance:

7 Great will be his authority,

and there shall be endless peace

for the throne of David and his kingdom.

He will establish and uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

from this time onward and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,

and it fell on Israel,

9 and all the people knew it—

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—

but in pride and arrogance of heart they said:

7 His dominion will grow continually,

and to peace there will be no end

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

to establish it and sustain it

with justice and righteousness

now and forever.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

8 The Lord has sent out a word against Jacob,

and it fell on Israel.

9 And all of the people knew it,

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria

in pride and arrogance of heart, saying,

7 The authority of his rule will continue to grow.

The peace he brings will never end.

He will rule on David’s throne

and over his kingdom.

He will make the kingdom strong and secure.

His rule will be based on what is fair and right.

It will last forever.

The Lord’s great love will make sure that happens.

He rules over all.

8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob’s people.

He will punish Israel.

9 All of the people will know about it.

Ephraim’s people and those who live in Samaria will know about it.

Their hearts are very proud.

They say,

7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,

On the throne of David and over his kingdom,

To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness

From then on and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

8 The Lord sends a message against Jacob,

And it falls on Israel.

9 And all the people know it,

That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,

Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:
