All right then,
the Lord himself will give you the sign.
Look!
The virgin will conceive a child.
She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel
(which means ‘God is with us’).
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
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!
