The Zeal of the Lord

Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to order it…

"The zeal" translates our English version, but no one English word will give it. It is that mixture of hot honour and affection to which "jealousy" in its good sense comes near.

(Prof. G. A. Smith, D. D.)
