Isaiah 9:1 Nevertheless the dimness4155shall not be such as was in her vexation,4164 when6256 at the first7223 he lightly afflicted7043 the land776 of Zebulun2074 and the land776 of Naphtali,5321 and afterward314 did more grievously afflict3513herby the way1870 of the sea,3220 beyond5676 Jordan,3383 in Galilee1551 of the nations.1471{Or, populous}2 The people5971 that walked1980 in darkness2822 have seen7200 a great1419 light:216 they that dwell3427 in the land776 of the shadow of death,6757 upon them hath the light216 shined.50503 Thou hast multiplied7235 the nation,1471and not increased1431 the joy:8057 they joy8055 before6440 thee according to the joy8057 in harvest,7105and as men rejoice1523 when they divide2505 the spoil.79984 For thou hast 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.40805 For every battle5430 of the warrior5431is with confused noise,7494 and garments8071 rolled1556 in blood;1818 but this shall be with burning8316and fuel3980 of fire.7846 For unto us a child3206 is born,3205 unto us a son1121 is given:5414 and the government4951 shall be upon his shoulder:7926 and his name8034 shall be called7121 Wonderful,6382 Counsellor,3289 The mighty1368 God,410 The everlasting5703 Father,1 The Prince8269 of Peace.79657 Of the increase4766 of his government4951 and peace7965thereshallbe no end,7093 upon the throne3678 of David,1732 and upon his kingdom,4467 to order3559 it, and to establish5582 it with judgment4941 and with justice6666 from henceforth even for5704 ever.5769 The zeal7068 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 will perform6213 this.
Isaiah 9:8 The Lord136 sent7971 a word1697 into Jacob,3290 and it hath lighted5307 upon Israel.34789 And all the people5971 shall know,3045even Ephraim669 and the inhabitant3427 of Samaria,8111 that say559 in the pride1346 and stoutness1433 of heart,382410 The bricks3843 are fallen down,5307 but we will build1129 with hewn stones:1496 the sycomores8256 are cut down,1438 but we will change2498theminto cedars.73011 Therefore the LORD3068 shall set up7682 the adversaries6862 of Rezin7526 against him, and join55262794{Heb. mingle} his enemies341 together;552612 The Syrians758 before,6924 and the Philistines6430 behind;268 and they shall devour398 Israel3478 with open mouth.6310 For all this his anger639 is not turned away,7725 but his hand3027is stretched out still.5186
Isaiah 9:13 For the people5971 turneth7725 not unto him that smiteth5221 them, neither do they seek1875 the LORD3068 of hosts.663514 Therefore the LORD3068 will cut off3772 from Israel3478 head7218 and tail,2180 branch3712 and rush,100 in one259 day.311715 The ancient2205 and honourable,64405375 he1931is the head;7218 and the prophet5030 that teacheth3384 lies,8267 he is the tail.218016 For the leaders833{Or, they that call them blessed} of this people5971 cause them to err;8582 and theythatare led833 of them are destroyed.110417 Therefore the Lord136 shall have no joy8055 in their young men,970 neither shall have mercy7355 on their fatherless3490 and widows:490 for every one is an hypocrite2611 and an evildoer,7489 and every mouth6310 speaketh1696 folly.5039{Or, villany} For all this his anger639 is not turned away,7725 but his hand3027is stretched out still.5186
Isaiah 9:18 For wickedness7564 burneth1197 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 mount up55like the lifting up1348 of smoke.622719 Through the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is the land776 darkened,6272 and the people5971 shall be as the fuel3980{Heb. meat} of the fire:784 no man376 shall spare2550 his brother.25120 And he shall snatch1504{Heb cut} on the right hand,3225 and be hungry;7457 and he shall eat398 on the left hand,8040 and they shall not be satisfied:7646 they shall eat398 every man376 the flesh1320 of his own arm:222021 Manasseh,4519 Ephraim;669 and Ephraim,669 Manasseh:4519and they together3162shallbe against Judah.3063 For all this his anger639 is not turned away,7725 but his hand3027is stretched out still.5186
