4 For you have shattered their oppressive yokeb

and the rod on their shoulders,

the staff of their oppressor,

just as you did on the day of Midian.c

5 For every trampling boot of battle

and the bloodied garments of war

will be burned as fuel for the fire.

6 For a child will be born for us,

a son will be given to us,d

and the government will be on his shoulders.e

He will be named

Wonderful Counselor,f Mighty God,g

Eternal Father,h Prince of Peace.i
