# Isaiah 9 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Government of the Promised Son
|
|
|
|
##### 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.
