Isaiah 9

CHAPTER 9 Unto Us a Child Is Born

1 [²this ³first ⁴quickly ¹Drink]! Quickly act! O place of Zebulun, the land of Naphtali, and the rest on the coast, and on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! 2 The people going in darkness beheld [²light ¹a great]! The ones dwelling in a place and shadow of death, light shall radiate upon you. 3 The greatest part of the people you led down in gladness, and they shall be glad before you as the ones being glad in a harvest, and in which manner the ones dividing spoils. 4 Because [⁵was removed ¹the ²yoke, the one ⁴upon them ³being situated], even the rod, the one upon their neck; for the rod of the extractors he effaced as in the day against Midian. 5 For every apparel [³assembled ⁴by treachery ¹and ²garment], [²with ³reparation ¹they shall pay]; and they shall want to even if it became scorched. 6 For a child was born to us; a son was given to us, of whom the sovereignty became upon his shoulder; and [²is called ¹his name], [²of great ³counsel ¹Messenger], wonderful, counselor, [²God ¹mighty], potentate, ruler of peace, father of the [²about to be ¹eon]. For I will bring peace upon the rulers, and his health. 7 And great is his sovereignty, and of his peace there is no end upon the throne of David, and his kingdom to set it up and to take hold in judgment; even with righteousness from the present and into the eon. The zeal of the lord of Hosts shall do these things.

Judgment on Samaria

8 [³death ²sent ¹The lord] upon Jacob, and it came upon Israel. 9 And [⁵shall know ¹all ²the ³people ⁴of Ephraim], and the ones settling in Samaria, with insolence and a haughty heart, saying, 10 The bricks are fallen, but come, we should dress stones. And we should fell sycamine trees and cedars, and we should build for ourselves a tower. 11 And [²shall dash down ¹God] the ones rising against mount Zion, against him; and [²his enemies ¹he shall efface] -- 12 Syria from [²of the sun ¹the dawn], and the Greeks from [²of the sun ¹the descent], the ones devouring Israel with their whole mouth. In all these things [³is not ⁴turned ¹the ²rage], but still there is the [²hand ¹high]. 13 And the people did not turn until they were struck, and the lord of the forces they did not seek. 14 And the lord removed from Israel the head and tail, the great and small, in one day; 15 the old man, and the ones [²persons ¹admiring] -- this is the head; and the prophet teaching lawless things -- this is the tail. 16 And [⁶shall be ¹the ones ²declaring ⁵blessed ⁴people ³this] misleading. And they misled so that they should swallow them down. 17 On account of this [⁵over ⁶their young men ³shall not ⁴be gladdened ¹the ² lord]; and upon their orphans and their widows he shall not show mercy. For all are lawless ones and wicked ones, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all these things [²shall not ³turn away ¹his rage], but still his hand is high. 18 And [²shall burn ³as ⁴fire ¹lawlessness]. And as [²wild grass ¹dry] it shall be devoured by fire, and shall be burnt in the thickets of the grove, and shall devour together [²the things ³round about ⁴the ⁵hills ¹all]. 19 On account of the rage of the anger of the lord [³burns ²land ¹the entire], and [³will be ¹the ²people] as ones incinerated by fire. A man [³his brother ¹shall not ²show mercy on]. 20 But one shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall hunger; and he shall eat of the left, and in no way shall [²be filled up ¹a man] eating the flesh of his arm. 21 [³shall eat ¹For ²Manasseh] Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; for together they shall assault Judah. For all these things [³shall not ⁴turn ¹the ²rage], but still his hand is high.
