For you have shattered the yoke of its burden
    and the stick of its shoulder,
    the rod of its oppressor, on[a] the day of Midian.
For every boot that marches and shakes the earth[b]
    and garment rolled in blood
will[c] be for burning—fire fuel.
For a child has been born for us;
    a son has been given to us.
And the dominion will be on his shoulder,
    and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
        Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
