- 5For every battle of a warrior `is' with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning -- fuel of fire.
- 6For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

- 8A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
- 9And the people have known -- all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
- 10`Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
- 11And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
- 12Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.

- 13And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
- 14And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed -- the same day,
- 15Elder, and accepted of face, he `is' the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he `is' the tail.
- 16And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
- 17Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one `is' profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
