Isaiah 9:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ For the yoke that burdened them,
    the bar across their shoulders,
and the rod of their oppressor
    you have broken as on the day of Midian.^[a]
4 For every boot of a warrior that tramped in battle
    and every garment soaked in blood
    will be burned as fuel for the fire.
⁵ For a child has been born to us,
    a son has been given to us.
Upon his shoulders dominion rests,
    and this is the name he has been given:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
