Isaiah 9:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ You have multiplied the nation. You have increased its joy.^[a]
They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time,
like the celebration when people divide the plunder.
⁴ For you have shattered the yoke that burdened them.
You have broken the bar on their shoulders and
    the rod of their oppressor,
as you did in the day of Midian.
⁵ Every boot that marched in battle
and the garments rolled in blood will be burned.
They will be fuel for the fire.
