Isaiah 9:1-20

9:1

Nevertheless the dimness
<04155>

[shall] not [be] such as [was] in her vexation
<04164>_,

when
<06256>

at the first
<07223>

he lightly afflicted
<07043> (8689)

the land
<0776>

of Zebulun
<02074>

and the land
<0776>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and afterward
<0314>

did more grievously afflict
<03513> (8689)

[her by] the way
<01870>

of the sea
<03220>_,

beyond
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

in Galilee
<01551>

of the nations
<01471>_.

{of the nations: or, populous}

9:2

The people
<05971>

that walked
<01980> (8802)

in darkness
<02822>

have seen
<07200> (8804)

a great
<01419>

light
<0216>_:

they that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the land
<0776>

of the shadow of death
<06757>_,

upon them hath the light
<0216>

shined
<05050> (8804)_.

9:3

Thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8689)

the nation
<01471>_,

[and] not increased
<01431> (8689)

the joy
<08057>_:

they joy
<08055> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee according to the joy
<08057>

in harvest
<07105>_,

[and] as [men] rejoice
<01523> (8799)

when they divide
<02505> (8763)

the spoil
<07998>_.

{not: or, to him}

9:4

For thou hast broken
<02865> (8689)

the yoke
<05923>

of his burden
<05448>_,

and the staff
<04294>

of his shoulder
<07926>_,

the rod
<07626>

of his oppressor
<05065> (8802)_,

as in the day
<03117>

of Midian
<04080>_.

{For...: or, When thou brakest}

9:5

For every battle
<05430>

of the warrior
<05431> (8802)

[is] with confused noise
<07494>_,

and garments
<08071>

rolled
<01556> (8775)

in blood
<01818>_;

but [this] shall be with burning
<08316>

[and] fuel
<03980>

of fire
<0784>_.

{For...: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but...: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}

9:6

For unto us a child
<03206>

is born
<03205> (8795)_,

unto us a son
<01121>

is given
<05414> (8738)_:

and the government
<04951>

shall be upon his shoulder
<07926>_:

and his name
<08034>

shall be called
<07121> (8799)

Wonderful
<06382>_,

Counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

The mighty
<01368>

God
<0410>_,

The everlasting
<05703>

Father
<01>_,

The Prince
<08269>

of Peace
<07965>_.

9:7

Of the increase
<04766>

of [his] government
<04951>

and peace
<07965>

[there shall be] no end
<07093>_,

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>_,

and upon his kingdom
<04467>_,

to order
<03559> (8687)

it, and to establish
<05582> (8800)

it with judgment
<04941>

and with justice
<06666>

from henceforth even for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

The zeal
<07068>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

will perform
<06213> (8799)

this.

9:8

The Lord
<0136>

sent
<07971> (8804)

a word
<01697>

into Jacob
<03290>_,

and it hath lighted
<05307> (8804)

upon Israel
<03478>_.

9:9

And all the people
<05971>

shall know
<03045> (8804)_,

[even] Ephraim
<0669>

and the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Samaria
<08111>_,

that say
<0559> (8800)

in the pride
<01346>

and stoutness
<01433>

of heart
<03824>_,

9:10

The bricks
<03843>

are fallen down
<05307> (8804)_,

but we will build
<01129> (8799)

with hewn stones
<01496>_:

the sycomores
<08256>

are cut down
<01438> (8795)_,

but we will change
<02498> (8686)

[them into] cedars
<0730>_.

9:11

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

shall set up
<07682> (8762)

the adversaries
<06862>

of Rezin
<07526>

against him, and join
<05526> (0)

his enemies
<0341> (8802)

together
<05526> (8770)_;

{join: Heb. mingle}

9:12

The Syrians
<0758>

before
<06924>_,

and the Philistines
<06430>

behind
<0268>_;

and they shall devour
<0398> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

with open mouth
<06310>_.

For all this his anger
<0639>

is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,

but his hand
<03027>

[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.

{open: Heb. whole}

9:13

For the people
<05971>

turneth
<07725> (8804)

not unto him that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

them, neither do they seek
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

9:14

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

will cut off
<03772> (8686)

from Israel
<03478>

head
<07218>

and tail
<02180>_,

branch
<03712>

and rush
<0100>_,

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_.

9:15

The ancient
<02205>

and honourable
<06440> <05375> (8803)_,

he
<01931>

[is] the head
<07218>_;

and the prophet
<05030>

that teacheth
<03384> (8688)

lies
<08267>_,

he [is] the tail
<02180>_.

9:16

For the leaders
<0833> (8764)

of this people
<05971>

cause [them] to err
<08582> (8688)_;

and [they that are] led
<0833> (8794)

of them [are] destroyed
<01104> (8794)_.

{the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}

9:17

Therefore the Lord
<0136>

shall have no joy
<08055> (8799)

in their young men
<0970>_,

neither shall have mercy
<07355> (8762)

on their fatherless
<03490>

and widows
<0490>_:

for every one [is] an hypocrite
<02611>

and an evildoer
<07489> (8688)_,

and every mouth
<06310>

speaketh
<01696> (8802)

folly
<05039>_.

For all this his anger
<0639>

is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,

but his hand
<03027>

[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.

{folly: or, villany}

9:18

For wickedness
<07564>

burneth
<01197> (8804)

as the fire
<0784>_:

it shall devour
<0398> (8799)

the briers
<08068>

and thorns
<07898>_,

and shall kindle
<03341> (8799)

in the thickets
<05442>

of the forest
<03293>_,

and they shall mount up
<055> (8691)

[like] the lifting up
<01348>

of smoke
<06227>_.

9:19

Through the wrath
<05678>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

is the land
<0776>

darkened
<06272> (8738)_,

and the people
<05971>

shall be as the fuel
<03980>

of the fire
<0784>_:

no man
<0376>

shall spare
<02550> (8799)

his brother
<0251>_.

{fuel: Heb. meat}

9:20

And he shall snatch
<01504> (8799)

on the right hand
<03225>_,

and be hungry
<07457>_;

and he shall eat
<0398> (8799)

on the left hand
<08040>_,

and they shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8804)_:

they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

every man
<0376>

the flesh
<01320>

of his own arm
<02220>_:

{snatch: Heb cut}
