Isaiah 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Like the time you defeated Midian,
    you will take away their heavy load.
You will take away the heavy pole from their backs.
    You will take away the rod the enemy uses to punish your people.
⁵ Every boot that marched in battle will be destroyed.
    Every uniform stained with blood will be destroyed.
    They will be thrown into the fire.
⁶ A child will be born to us.
    God will give a son to us.
    He will be responsible for leading the people.
His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God,
    Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.
