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)

²⁷ In that day^(A) their burden^(B) will be lifted from your shoulders,
    their yoke^(C) from your neck;^(D)
the yoke^(E) will be broken
    because you have grown so fat.^[a]

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)”
