Isaiah 9:1-4

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}
