Isaiah

Chapter 9

1 THE land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali have rejoiced; the mighty dominion, the way by the sea, the country beyond the river Jordan, and Galilee of the Gentiles have rejoiced.

2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.

3 Thou hast multiplied the people, and thou hast increased its joy; they joy before thee as those who rejoice in the harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder and the rod of his oppressor, as in the days of Midian.

5 For every voice which is heard brings terror and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be for burning and fuel for fire.

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder: and his name is called Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty One, The Everlasting God, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and of his peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to establish it and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

8 The LORD has sent a word to Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.

9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and haughtiness of heart,

10 We shall lay bricks and hew stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

11 Therefore the LORD shall cause the adversaries of Rezin to prevail against him, and incite his enemies,

12 The Edomites from the east and the Philistines from the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 For the people did not turn to him till they were devoured, neither did they seek the LORD of hosts.

14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, tail and head, in one day.

15 The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

16 For the leaders of this people shall cause them to err and cause them to sink low.

17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall he have mercy on their orphans and widows; for all of them are hypocrites and evildoers, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burns like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and the chosen ones shall roll up like the lifting up of smoke.

19 Through the rebuke of the LORD of hosts the land trembles, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be satisfied; they shall eat every man the flesh of his own kinsmen;

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall devour Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Chapter 9

1 Nevertheless3588 the dimness4155 shall not be such as was in her vexation,4164 when6256 at the first7223 he lightly7043 afflicted7043 the land776 of Zebulun2074 and the land776 of Naphtali,5321 and afterward314 did more grievously3513 afflict3513 her by the way1870 of the sea,3220 beyond5676 Jordan,3383 in Galilee1551 of the nations.1471

2 The people5971 that walked1980 in darkness2822 have seen7200 a great1419 light:216 they that dwell3427 in the land776 of the shadow6757 of death,6757 on them has the light216 shined.5050

3 You have multiplied7235 the nation,1471 and not increased1431 the joy:8057 they joy8055 before6440 you according to the joy8055 in harvest,7105 and as men rejoice1523 when they divide2505 the spoil.7998

4 For you have broken2865 the yoke5923 of his burden,5448 and the staff4294 of his shoulder,7926 the rod7626 of his oppressor,5065 as in the day3117 of Midian.4080

5 For every3605 battle5430 of the warrior5431 is with confused7494 noise, and garments8071 rolled1556 in blood;1818 but this shall be with burning8316 and fuel3980 of fire.784

6 For to us a child3206 is born,3205 to us a son1121 is given:5414 and the government4951 shall be on his shoulder:7926 and his name8034 shall be called7121 Wonderful,6382 Counselor,3289 The mighty1368 God,410 The everlasting5703 Father,1 The Prince8269 of Peace.7965

7 Of the increase4768 of his government4951 and peace7965 there shall be no369 end,7093 on the throne3678 of David,1732 and on his kingdom,4467 to order3559 it, and to establish5582 it with judgment4941 and with justice6666 from now on6258 even for ever.5769 The zeal7068 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 will perform6213 this.2063

8 The Lord3068 sent7971 a word1697 into Jacob,3290 and it has lighted5307 on Israel.3478

9 And all3605 the people5971 shall know,3045 even Ephraim669 and the inhabitant3427 of Samaria,8111 that say559 in the pride1346 and stoutness1433 of heart,3824

10 The bricks3843 are fallen5307 down, but we will build1129 with hewn1496 stones:1496 the sycomores8256 are cut1438 down,1438 but we will change2498 them into cedars.730

11 Therefore the LORD3068 shall set7682 up the adversaries6862 of Rezin7526 against5921 him, and join5526 his enemies341 together;

12 The Syrians758 before,6924 and the Philistines6430 behind;268 and they shall devour398 Israel3478 with open3605 mouth.6310 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not turned7725 away, but his hand3027 is stretched5186 out still.5750

13 For the people5971 turns7725 not to him that smites5221 them, neither3808 do they seek1875 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

14 Therefore the LORD3068 will cut3772 off from Israel3478 head7218 and tail,2180 branch3712 and rush,100 in one259 day.3117

15 The ancient2204 and honorable,5375 6440 he is the head;7218 and the prophet5030 that teaches3384 lies,8267 he is the tail.2180

16 For the leaders833 of this2088 people5971 cause them to err;8582 and they that are led833 of them are destroyed.1104

17 Therefore5921 3651 the LORD136 shall have no3808 joy8055 in their young970 men, neither3808 shall have mercy7355 on their fatherless3490 and widows:490 for every3605 one is an hypocrite2611 and an evildoer,7489 and every3605 mouth6310 speaks1696 folly.5039 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not turned7725 away, but his hand3027 is stretched5186 out still.5750

18 For wickedness7564 burns1197 as the fire:784 it shall devour398 the briers8068 and thorns,7898 and shall kindle3341 in the thickets5442 of the forest,3293 and they shall mount55 up like the lifting1348 up of smoke.6227

19 Through the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is the land776 darkened,6272 and the people5971 shall be as the fuel3980 of the fire:784 no3808 man376 shall spare2550 his brother.251

20 And he shall snatch1504 on5921 the right3225 hand,3225 and be hungry;7456 and he shall eat398 on5921 the left8040 hand,8040 and they shall not be satisfied:7646 they shall eat398 every man376 the flesh1320 of his own arm:2220

21 Manasseh,4519 Ephraim;669 and Ephraim,669 Manasseh:4519 and they together3162 shall be against5921 Judah.3063 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not turned7725 away, but his hand3027 is stretched5186 out still.5750
