The Lord's Zeal

[Isa 9:7]

v.7
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a land of deep shadow, light has dawned.
You have multiplied the nation; you have made its joy great. They rejoice before you as people rejoice at harvest, as they exult when dividing the spoil.
For the yoke that burdened them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor—you have shattered them, as on the day of Midian.
For every boot that tramped in the tumult, every cloak rolled in blood, will be burned, fuel for the fire.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will rest on his shoulders. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.
The Lord has sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
All the people will know it—Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
"The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will put cedars in their place."
So the LORD raised up against him the adversaries of Rezin and stirred up his enemies:
Aram from the east and the Philistines from the west, and they devoured Israel with open mouths. Yet for all this his anger has not turned away; his hand is still stretched out.
Still the people did not return to him who struck them, and they did not seek the LORD of hosts.
So the LORD cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed, in a single day.
The elder and the man of rank are the head; the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
Those who guide this people have led them astray, and those they guide are swallowed up.
Therefore the Lord takes no delight in their young men, and he has no compassion on their orphans and widows; for everyone is godless and does evil, and every mouth speaks folly. Yet for all this his anger has not turned away; his hand is still stretched out.
For wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns. It sets the thickets of the forest ablaze, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
By the fury of the LORD of hosts the land is scorched, and the people have become fuel for the fire; no one spares his brother.
They tear at what is on the right, but remain hungry; they devour what is on the left, but are not satisfied. Each one devours the flesh of his own arm:
Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Yet for all this his anger has not turned away; his hand is still stretched out.
