\q1
|
|
\v 1 The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish.
|
|
\q1 In an earlier time he humiliated
|
|
\q1 the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
|
|
\q1 but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;
|
|
\q1 those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 You have multiplied the nation, you have increased their joy;
|
|
\q1 they rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time,
|
|
\q1 as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder,
|
|
\q1 the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on the day of Midian.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 For every boot treading in the tumult
|
|
\q1 and the garments rolled in blood
|
|
\q1 will be burned, fuel for the fire.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given;
|
|
\q1 and the rule will be on his shoulder;
|
|
\q1 and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,
|
|
\q1 Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
|
|
\q1 Prince of Peace.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end,
|
|
\q1 as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom,
|
|
\q1 to establish it and sustain it
|
|
\q1 with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore.
|
|
\q1 The zeal of Yahweh of hosts
|
|
will do this.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant
|
|
heart,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 "The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their
|
|
place."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him, Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth.
|
|
\q1 For in his anger Yahweh will
|
|
not stop, but his hand will still be raised to strike.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows,
|
|
\q1
|
|
since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things.
|
|
\q1 Because of all this his anger does not subside, but his
|
|
hand will still be raised to strike.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns;
|
|
\q1 it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in a column of smoke.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Through the overflowing anger of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire.
|
|
\q1 No man spares his
|
|
brother.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 They will slice meat off the right hand and still be hungry; they will eat meat off the left hand but will not be
|
|
satisfied.
|
|
\q1 Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Manasseh will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah.
|
|
\q1 For all this Yahweh's anger will not subside,
|
|
but his hand will still be raised to strike.
