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.

Isaiah 9:3-5
New International Version
3 You have enlarged the nation(A)
and increased their joy;(B)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(C)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(D)
you have shattered(E)
the yoke(F) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(G)
the rod of their oppressor.(H)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(I)
will be fuel for the fire.
