Isaiah 9:5 - Exposition

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise ; rather, for all the armor of him that armeth noisily (Knobel, Vance Smith); or, perhaps, "every hoof of him that trampeth noisily" (Gesenius, Cheyne). The noun and participle, which are cognate words, occur only in this passage. And garments , etc. Translate, And every garment that is rolled in blood , shall be for burning , even fuel for fire . All military accoutrements shall be committed to the flames, that the reign of peace and justice may commence (comp. Isaiah 2:4 ; Psalms 46:9 ).
