9:4 For their oppressive yoke

and the club that strikes their shoulders,

the cudgel the oppressor uses on them, ¹ 

you have shattered, as in the day of Midian’s defeat. ² 

9:5 Indeed every boot that marches and shakes the earth ³ 

and every garment dragged through blood

is used as fuel for the fire.

9:6 For a child has been ⁴  born to us,

a son has been given to us.

He shoulders responsibility

and is called: ⁵ 

Extraordinary Strategist, ⁶ 

Mighty God, ⁷ 

Everlasting Father, ⁸ 

Prince of Peace. ⁹
