Revised Literal Translation

Isaiah 9:4-6

4For 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.1

5For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.2 3 4

6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
