Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 9:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 That will happen because you will lift the heavy yoke off their shoulders and take away their heavy burden. You will take away the rod that the enemy used to punish your people, as you did when you defeated Midian.[a]
5 Every boot that marched in battle and every uniform stained with blood will be destroyed and thrown into the fire. 6 This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be “Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.”

4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(A)
you have shattered(B)
the yoke(C) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(D)
the rod of their oppressor.(E)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(F)
will be fuel for the fire.

to us a son is given,(H)
and the government(I) will be on his shoulders.(J)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(K) Mighty God,(L)
Everlasting(M) Father,(N) Prince of Peace.(O)
