those who live in darkness from prisons.
Isaiah 49:25-26

“captives will be taken from a warrior;
spoils will be rescued from a conqueror.
I will oppose your adversary
and I will rescue your children.
49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine.
Then all humankind will recognize that
I am the Lord, your deliverer,
your protector, the powerful ruler of Jacob.”

and was numbered with the rebels,
when he lifted up the sin of many
and intervened on behalf of the rebels.”

at what the shepherds said.

the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising
God for all they had heard and seen; everything was just as they had been told.
