Isaiah 9:3-5
New Century Version
Isaiah 9:3-5
New Century Version
3 God, you have caused the nation to grow
and made the people happy.
And they have shown their happiness to you,
like the joy during harvest time,
like the joy of people
taking what they have won in war.
4 Like the time you defeated Midian,
you have taken away their heavy load
and the heavy pole from their backs
and the rod the enemy used to punish them.
5 Every boot that marched in battle
and every uniform stained with blood
has been thrown into the fire.
Isaiah 9:3-5
New International Version
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.
