Isaiah 9:6

Jesus Christ Peace God's power and sovereignty Prophecy

⁴ For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.

⁵ For every trampling boot of battle and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.

⁸ The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
