Commentary on Isaiah Volume 1 John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
ment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
6. Quia puer natus est nobis; et constitutus est principatus super humerum ejus; et vocabitur nomen ejus, Admirabilis, Consiliarius, Deus fortis, Pater seculi, princeps pacis.
7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
7. Multiplicationi principatus et paci non erit finis; super solium David, et super regnum ejus, ut disponat et stabiliat ipsum in judicio et justitia, ab hoc tempore usque in perpetuum. Zelus Iehovae exercituum hanc rem faciet.
8. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 8. Verbum misit Dominus in Iacob, et cecidit in Israel. 9. And all the people shall know, even Ephraim, and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
9. Et sciet populus, omnes Ephraim, et incolae Samariae, qui dicunt in superbia et altitudine cordis,
10. The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
10. Lateres ceciderunt, et politis aedificabimus; sycomori succisae sunt, et cedros sufficiemus.
11. Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
11. Atqui roborabit Iehova hostes Rezin contra ipsum; et inimicos ejus coadjuvabit.
12. The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
12. Syria a fronte, et Philistaei a tergo; devorabuntque Israel toto ore. Nec in hoc toto aversus erit furor ejus, sed manus ejus adhuc extenta.
13. For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts:
13. Atqui populus non est reversus ad percussorem suum; nec Iehovam exercituum quaesierunt.
14. Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
14. Abscindet ergo Iehova ab Israele caput et caudam, ramum et arundinem die uno.
15. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
15. Senex et vulta suspiciendus, hic est caput: Propheta autem qui docet mendacium, hic est cauda.
