But there shall be no gloom{H4155} to her that was in anguish.{H4164} In{H6256} the former time{H7223} he brought into contempt{H7043} the land{H776} of Zebulun{H2074} and the land{H776} of Naphtali;{H5321} but in the latter{H314} time hath he made it glorious,{H3513} by the way{H1870} of the sea,{H3220} beyond{H5676} the Jordan,{H3383} Galilee{H1551} of the nations.{H1471}

The people{H5971} that walked{H1980} in darkness{H2822} have seen{H7200} a great{H1419} light:{H216} they that dwelt{H3427} in the land{H776} of the shadow of death,{H6757} upon them hath the light{H216} shined.{H5050}

Thou hast multiplied{H7235} the nation,{H1471} thou hast increased{H1431} their joy:{H8057} they joy{H8055} before{H6440} thee according to the joy{H8057} in harvest,{H7105} as men rejoice{H1523} when they divide{H2505} the spoil.{H7998}

For the yoke{H5923} of his burden,{H5448} and the staff{H4294} of his shoulder,{H7926} the rod{H7626} of his oppressor,{H5065} thou hast broken{H2865} as in the day{H3117} of Midian.{H4080}

For all the armor{H5430} of the armed man{H5431} in the tumult,{H7494} and the garments{H8071} rolled{H1556} in blood,{H1818} shall be for burning,{H8316} for fuel{H3980} of fire.{H784}

For unto us a child{H3206} is born,{H3205} unto us a son{H1121} is given;{H5414} and the government{H4951} shall be upon his shoulder:{H7926} and his name{H8034} shall be called{H7121} Wonderful,{H6382} Counsellor,{H3289} Mighty{H1368} God,{H410} Everlasting{H5703} Father,{H1} Prince{H8269} of Peace.{H7965}

Of the increase{H4766} of his government{H4951} and of peace{H7965} there shall be no end,{H7093} upon the throne{H3678} of David,{H1732} and upon his kingdom,{H4467} to establish{H3559} it, and to uphold{H4941} it with justice{H4941} and with righteousness{H6666} from henceforth even for{H5704} ever.{H5769} The zeal{H7068} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} will perform{H6213} this.

The Lord{H136} sent{H7971} a word{H1697} into Jacob,{H3290} and it hath lighted{H5307} upon Israel.{H3478}

And all the people{H5971} shall know,{H3045} [even] Ephraim{H669} and the inhabitant{H3427} of Samaria,{H8111} that say{H559} in pride{H1346} and in stoutness{H1433} of heart,{H3824}

The bricks{H3843} are fallen,{H5307} but we will build{H1129} with hewn stone;{H1496} the sycomores{H8256} are cut down,{H1438} but we will put cedars{H730} in their place.{H2498}

Therefore Jehovah{H3068} will set up{H7682} on high against him the adversaries{H6862} of Rezin,{H7526} and will stir{H5526} up{H5526} his enemies,{H341}

the Syrians{H758} before,{H6924} and the Philistines{H6430} behind;{H268} and they shall devour{H398} Israel{H3478} with open mouth.{H6310} For all this his anger{H639} is not turned away,{H7725} but his hand{H3027} is stretched out still.{H5186}

Yet the people{H5971} have not turned{H7725} unto him that smote{H5221} them, neither have they sought{H1875} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

Therefore Jehovah{H3068} will cut off{H3772} from Israel{H3478} head{H7218} and tail,{H2180} palm-branch{H3712} and rush,{H100} in one{H259} day.{H3117}

The elder{H2205} and the honorable{H6440} man, he{H1931} is the head;{H7218} and the prophet{H5030} that teacheth{H3384} lies,{H8267} he is the tail.{H2180}

For they that lead{H833} this people{H5971} cause them to err;{H8582} and they that are led{H833} of them are destroyed.{H1104}

Therefore the Lord{H136} will not rejoice{H8055} over their young men,{H970} neither will he have compassion{H7355} on their fatherless{H3490} and widows;{H490} for every one is profane{H2611} and an evil-doer,{H7489} and every mouth{H6310} speaketh{H1696} folly.{H5039} For all this his anger{H639} is not turned away,{H7725} but his hand{H3027} is stretched out still.{H5186}

For wickedness{H7564} burneth{H1197} as the fire;{H784} it devoureth{H398} the briers{H8068} and thorns;{H7898} yea, it kindleth{H3341} in the thickets{H5442} of the forest,{H3293} and they roll upward{H55} in a column{H1348} of smoke.{H6227}

Through the wrath{H5678} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is the land{H776} burnt{H6272} up; and the people{H5971} are as the fuel{H3980} of fire:{H784} no man{H376} spareth{H2550} his brother.{H251}

And one shall snatch{H1504} on the right hand,{H3225} and be hungry;{H7457} and he shall eat{H398} on the left hand,{H8040} and they shall not be satisfied:{H7646} they shall eat{H398} every man{H376} the flesh{H1320} of his own arm:{H2220}

Manasseh,{H4519} Ephraim;{H669} and Ephraim,{H669} Manasseh;{H4519} and they together{H3162} shall be against Judah.{H3063} For all this his anger{H639} is not turned away,{H7725} but his hand{H3027} is stretched out still.{H5186}
