Isaiah 9:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ Like the time you defeated Midian [Judg. 7–8],
    you have ·taken away [broken; shattered] their ·heavy load [^Lyoke of burden]
and the heavy ·pole [bar; staff] from their ·backs [or shoulders]
    and the rod ·the enemy used to punish them [of the oppressor].
⁵ Every boot ·that marched in battle [^Lmarching with shaking]
    and every ·uniform [garment] ·stained with [^Lrolled in] blood
    ·has been thrown into [or will be used as fuel for] the fire.
⁶ A child ·has been [or will be; ^Cthe prophet views the future as though it had already happened] born to us;
    ·God has given a son [^La son has been given] to us.
    ·He will be responsible for leading the people [^LThe government/rule/dominion will be on his shoulder].
His name will be ·Wonderful Counselor [or Wonderful! Counselor!; or Extraordinary Advisor], ·Powerful [Mighty] God,
    ·Father Who Lives Forever [Eternal Father], Prince of Peace.
