Isaiah 9:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.

⁴ For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou hast overcome, as in the day of Median.

⁵ For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.
