6 Of the increase of His government and shalom there will be no end— on the throne of David and over His kingdom— to establish it and uphold it through justice and righteousness from now until forevermore. The zeal of Adonai-Tzva’ot will accomplish this.
7 Adonai sent a word to Jacob, and it fell upon Israel.
8 All the people will know what Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria say in pride and in arrogance of heart:
9 “The bricks are fallen, but we will rebuild with cut stones. The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”
10 Therefore Adonai raises up Rezin’s adversaries against them, and spurs on his enemies.
11 The Arameans from the east and the Philistines from the west— they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, yet His hand is still outstretched.
12 Yet the people will not turn back to the One who strikes them, nor will they seek Adonai-Tzva’ot.
