Isaiah 9:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased its joy.[a](A)
The people have rejoiced before you
as they rejoice at harvest time
and as they rejoice when dividing spoils.(B)
4 For you have shattered their oppressive yoke(C)
and the rod on their shoulders,
the staff of their oppressor,
just as you did on the day of Midian.(D)
5 For every trampling boot of battle
and the bloodied garments of war
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
