10  The ^mscepter shall not depart from Judah,

nor the ruler’s staff ⁿfrom between his feet,

until tribute comes to him;¹

and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

6  ^uFor to us a child is born,

to us ^va son is given;

^wand the government shall be ^xupon¹ his shoulder,

and his name shall be called²

Wonderful ^yCounselor, ^zMighty God,

^aEverlasting ^bFather, Prince of ^cPeace.

7  Of the increase of his government and of peace

^dthere will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

to establish it and to uphold it

^ewith justice and with righteousness

from this time forth and forevermore.

^fThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

21  ^rTheir prince shall be one of themselves;

^rtheir ruler shall come out from their midst;

^sI will make him draw near, and he shall approach me,

^tfor who would dare of himself to approach me?

declares the Lord.

9  ^yRejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!

^zBehold, ^ayour king is coming to you;

righteous and having salvation is he,

^bhumble and mounted on a donkey,

on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
