Now as to the yoke that has been[a] his burden,
    and the bar laid[b] on his shoulder—
the rod of his oppressor—
    you have broken it[c] as on the day of Midiam.[d]
For every boot of the tramping soldier in battle tumult
    and every garment rolled in blood
        will be used for burning as fuel for a fire.
For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given;
and the government will be upon his shoulder,
    and his name is[e] called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
