6 For there has been a child born to us,+ there has been a son given to us;+ and the princely rule* will come to be upon his shoulder.+ And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,*+ Mighty God,*+ Eternal Father,*+ Prince of Peace.*+

15 In those days and at that time I shall make sprout for David a righteous sprout,+ and he will certainly execute justice and righteousness in the land.*+

23 And I will raise up over them one shepherd,+ and he must feed* them, even my servant David.+ He himself will feed them, and he himself will become their shepherd.+

2 “And you, O Bethʹle·hem* Ephʹra·thah,+ the one too little to get to be among the thousands of Judah,+ from you*+ there will come out to me the one who is to become ruler in Israel,+ whose origin* is from early times, from the days of time indefinite.+

12 And you must say to him,

“‘This is what Jehovah of armies has said: “Here is the man*+ whose name is Sprout.+ And from his own place he will sprout, and he will certainly build the temple* of Jehovah.+

3 “Look! I am sending my messenger,*+ and he must clear up a way before me.+ And suddenly there will come to His temple*+ the [true] Lord,*+ whom YOU people are seeking, and the messenger*+ of the covenant+ in whom YOU are delighting.+ Look! He will certainly come,” Jehovah of armies has said.+
