Isaiah 9:3-6 New English Translation (NET)

3. You have enlarged the nation;you give them great joy.They rejoice in your presenceas harvesters rejoice;as warriors celebrate when they divide up the plunder.

4. For their oppressive yokeand the club that strikes their shoulders,the cudgel the oppressor uses on them,you have shattered, as in the day of Midian’s defeat.

5. Indeed every boot that marches and shakes the earthand every garment dragged through bloodis used as fuel for the fire.

6. For a child has been born to us,a son has been given to us.He shoulders responsibilityand is called:Extraordinary Strategist,Mighty God,Everlasting Father,Prince of Peace.
