Isaiah 9:1-7
91But there will be no more agloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He btreated the cland of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the 2Gentiles.
21,aThe people who walk in darknessWill see a great light;Those who live in the land of the shadow of death,The light will shine on them.3aYou shall multiply the nation,You bshall 1make great 2their gladness;They will be glad in Your presenceAs with the gladness 3of harvest,As 4,cmen rejoice when they divide the spoil.4For aYou shall shatter the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,The rod of their btaskmaster, as 1at the battle of cMidian.5For every boot of the booted warrior in the rumbling of battle,And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.6For a achild will be born to us, a bson will be given to us;And the cgovernment will 1rest don His shoulders;And His name will be called eWonderful Counselor, fMighty God,Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.7There will be ano end to the increase of His government or of peace,On the bthrone of David and over his kingdom,To establish it and to uphold it with cjustice and righteousnessFrom then on and forevermore.dThe zeal of Yahweh of hosts will accomplish this.
