Isaiah 9:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ You will break the yoke ^[a] that burdens them,
the bar that is across their shoulders,
and the stick used by their oppressor,
as ⌞you did in the battle against⌟ Midian.
⁵ Every warrior’s boot marching to the sound of battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel in the fire.
⁶ A child will be born for us.
A son will be given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
He will be named:
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
