No more sorrow for those who are in distress.

There will be no more sorrow for those who are in distress. People who walk in darkness see the light; on those who live in the land of deep darkness, a light shines they rejoice before the Lord as people rejoice in the harvest, as warriors rejoice in dividing the spoil. For as on the day of the defeat of Midian, you have broken the yoke which oppresses them, the bar on their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be intended to burn, will serve as fuel for the fire. For to us, a child is born, to us, a son is given, and the government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and of the peace, there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and his kingdom, establishing and sustaining it with righteousness and righteousness from then on and forever. The zeal of the Almighty Lord will accomplish this. It is the word of God. Alleluia.
