Isaiah 9:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ You set Israel free from Midian long ago.
    In the same way, you will break
the heavy yoke that weighs Israel down.
    You will break the wooden beams that are on their shoulders.
    You will break the rods of those who strike them down.
⁵ Every fighting man’s boot that he wore in battle will be burned up.
    So will every piece of clothing covered with blood.
    All of them will be thrown into the fire.
⁶ A child will be born to us.
    A son will be given to us.
    He will rule over us.
And he will be called
    Wonderful Adviser and Mighty God.
He will also be called Father Who Lives Forever
    and Prince Who Brings Peace.
