5For every boot that marches and shakes the earthf

and garment rolled in blood

willg be for burning—fire fuel.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For the yoke of his burden,

and the staff for his shoulder,

the rod of his oppressor,

you have broken as on the day of Midian.

For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult

and every garment rolled in blood

will be burned as fuel for the fire.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,

you have shattered

the yoke that burdens them,

the bar across their shoulders,

the rod of their oppressor.

Every warrior’s boot used in battle

and every garment rolled in blood

will be destined for burning,

will be fuel for the fire.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For you have shattered their oppressive yoke

and the rod on their shoulders,

the staff of their oppressor,

just as you did on the day of Midian.

For every trampling boot of battle

and the bloodied garments of war

will be burned as fuel for the fire.

NLTNew Living Translation

For you will break the yoke of their slavery

and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders.

You will break the oppressor’s rod,

just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.

The boots of the warrior

and the uniforms bloodstained by war

will all be burned.

They will be fuel for the fire.

KJV 1900King James Version

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder,

The rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,

And garments rolled in blood;

But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
