Bible Quote Dec 26th Isaiah 9:6

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
===
Isaiah, reputed to Isaiah Ben Amos of the 8th century, but thought to be more than a few writers, is often called the fifth Gospel. It is lyrical and words of Isaiah are found in the libretto of Handel's Messiah, and expressions such as 'Swords into plough shares' and 'Voice in the wilderness.'

Here, Jewish scholars point to this referring to King Hezekiah. Christians give it a different interpretation. This Bible quote is typically posted for Christmas.
