Isaiah 9:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

^3 (A)You shall multiply the nation,
You ^(B)shall ^[a]increase ^[b]their gladness;
They will be glad in Your presence
As with the gladness ^[c]of harvest,
As ^[d](C)men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
⁴ For ^(D)You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their ^(E)oppressor, as ^[e]at the battle of ^(F)Midian.
⁵ For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult,
And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
