Isaiah 9:1-6

For to Us a Child Is Born

1 ^{▼▼Ch 8:23 in Hebrew} But there will be no ^egloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he ^fbrought into contempt the land of ^gZebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he ^hhas made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. ^{▼▼Or of the Gentiles}

2 ^{▼▼Ch 9:1 in Hebrew} ^kThe people ^lwho walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of ^mdeep darkness,
on them has light shone.
3 ⁿYou have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with ^ojoy at the harvest,
as they ^pare glad ^qwhen they divide the spoil.
4 ^rFor the yoke of his burden,
^sand the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as ^ton the day of Midian.
5 ^uFor every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 ^vFor to us a child is born,
to us ^wa son is given;
^xand the government shall be ^yupon ^{▼▼Or is upon} his shoulder,
and his name shall be called ^{▼▼Or is called}
Wonderful ^abCounselor, ^acMighty God,
^adEverlasting ^aeFather, Prince of ^afPeace.

Isaiah 11:1-5

The Righteous Reign of the Branch

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of ^agJesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And ^ahthe Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
^aiHe shall not judge by ^ajwhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by ^akwhat his ears hear,
4 but ^alwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ^amstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and ^anwith the breath of his lips ^aohe shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and ^apfaithfulness the belt of his loins.

Isaiah 35:4-6

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
^aqBehold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
5 ^arThen the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6 ^asthen shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^atFor waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;

Isaiah 53

1 ^auWho has believed what he has heard from us? ^{▼▼Or Who has believed what we have heard?}
And to whom has ^awthe arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^axand like a root out of dry ground;
^ayhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ^azHe was despised and rejected ^{▼▼Or forsaken} by men,
a man of sorrows, ^{▼▼Or pains; also verse 4} and acquainted with ^{▼▼Or and knowing} grief; ^{▼▼Or sickness; also verse 4}
and as one from whom men hide their faces ^{▼▼Or as one who hides his face from us}
he was despised, and ^bfwe esteemed him not.
4 ^bgSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^bhsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ^biBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^bjand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ^bkAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^bland the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^bmyet he opened not his mouth;
^bnlike a ^bolamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, ^bpwho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
^bqand with a rich man in his death,
although ^brhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^bsit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^buwhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^bwthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light} and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^bythe righteous one, my servant,
^bzmake many to be accounted righteous,
^caand he shall bear their iniquities.
12 ^cbTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ^{▼▼Or with the great}
^cdand he shall divide the spoil with the strong, ^{▼▼Or with the numerous}
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
^cfyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Daniel 9:24-27

The Seventy Weeks

24 ^cg“Seventy weeks ^{▼▼Or sevens; also twice in verse 25 and once in verse 26} are decreed about your people and ^ciyour holy city, to finish ^cjthe transgression, to put an end to sin, ^ckand to atone for iniquity, ^clto bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and ^cmto anoint a most holy place. ^{▼▼Or thing, or one} 25 ^coKnow therefore and understand that ^cpfrom the going out of the word to restore and ^cqbuild Jerusalem to the coming of an ^cranointed one, a ^csprince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again ^{▼▼Or there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again} with squares and moat, ^cubut in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^cvbe cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^cwshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^cxIts ^{▼▼Or His} end shall come with a flood, ^czand to the end there shall be war. ^daDesolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, ^{▼▼Or seven; twice in this verse} and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^dcAnd on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^ddthe decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
