⁴ For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,^(A)
    you have shattered^(B)
the yoke^(C) that burdens them,
    the bar across their shoulders,^(D)
    the rod of their oppressor.^(E)

²⁶ The Lord Almighty will lash^(A) them with a whip,
    as when he struck down Midian^(B) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff^(C) over the waters,^(D)
    as he did in Egypt.

²⁵ I will crush the Assyrian^(A) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke^(B) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.^(C)”
