Scripture –

For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor,…
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
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.
Isaiah 9: 4, 6-7


Porque tú quebrarás el yugo de su carga, el báculo de sus hombros,
y la vara de su opresor,…
Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un hijo nos ha sido dado,
y la soberanía reposará sobre sus hombros;
y se llamará su nombre Admirable Consejero, Dios Poderoso,
Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.
El aumento de su soberanía y de la paz no tendrán fin
sobre el trono de David y sobre su reino,
para afianzarlo y sostenerlo con el derecho y la justicia
desde entonces y para siempre.
El celo del SEÑOR de los ejércitos hará esto.
Isaias 9: 4, 6-7
