009:001

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined

009:002

Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil

009:003

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

009:004

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire

009:005

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

009:006

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

009:007

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel

009:008

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart

009:009

The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars

009:010

Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together

009:011

The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still

009:012

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts

009:013

Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day

009:014

The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail

009:015

For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed

009:016

Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still

009:017

For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke

009:018

Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother

009:019

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

009:020

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