# Chapter 9
|
|
1. Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
|
|
As when at first He lightly esteemed
|
|
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
|
|
And afterward more heavily oppressed her,
|
|
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
|
|
In Galilee of the Gentiles.
|
|
|
|
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 a light has shined.
|
|
|
|
3. You have multiplied the nation
|
|
And increased its joy;
|
|
They rejoice before You
|
|
According to the joy of harvest,
|
|
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
|
|
|
|
4. For You have broken the yoke of his burden
|
|
And the staff of his shoulder,
|
|
The rod of his oppressor,
|
|
As in the day of Midian.
|
|
|
|
5. For every warrior's sandal from the noisy battle,
|
|
And garments rolled in blood,
|
|
Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.
|
|
|
|
6. For unto us a Child is born,
|
|
Unto us a Son is given;
|
|
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
|
|
And His name will be called
|
|
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
|
|
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
|
|
|
|
7. Of the increase of His government and peace
|
|
There will be no end,
|
|
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
|
|
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
|
|
From that time forward, even forever.
|
|
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.The Punishment of Samaria
|
|
|
|
8. The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
|
|
And it has fallen on Israel.
|
|
|
|
9. All the people will know--
|
|
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria--
|
|
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
|
|
|
|
10. "The bricks have fallen down,
|
|
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
|
|
The sycamores are cut down,
|
|
But we will replace them with cedars."
|
|
|
|
11. Therefore the Lord shall set up
|
|
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
|
|
And spur his enemies on,
|
|
|
|
12. The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
|
|
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
|
|
For all this His anger is not turned away,
|
|
But His hand is stretched out still.
|
|
|
|
13. For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
|
|
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
14. Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
|
|
Palm branch and bulrush in one day.
|
|
|
|
15. The elder and honorable, he is the head;
|
|
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
|
|
|
|
16. For the leaders of this people cause them to err,
|
|
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
|
|
|
|
17. Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men,
|
|
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
|
|
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
|
|
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 as the fire;
|
|
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
|
|
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
|
|
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
|
|
|
|
19. Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
|
|
The land is burned up,
|
|
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
|
|
No man shall spare his brother.
|
|
|
|
20. And he shall snatch on the right hand
|
|
And be hungry;
|
|
He shall devour on the left hand
|
|
And not be satisfied;
|
|
Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
|
|
|
|
21. Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
|
|
Together they shall be against Judah.
|
|
For all this His anger is not turned away,
|
|
But His hand is stretched out still.
