Isaiah 9:1-7

11But there will be no more 2gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He 3treated the 4land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the 5Gentiles.267The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them.38You shall multiply the nation, You 9shall 10increase 11their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness 12of harvest, As 1314men rejoice when they divide the spoil.4For 15You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their 16oppressor, as 17at the battle of 18Midian.5For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.6For a 19child will be born to us, a 20son will be given to us; And the 21government will 22rest 23on His shoulders; And His name will be called 24Wonderful Counselor, 25Mighty God, Eternal 26Father, Prince of 27Peace.7There will be 28no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the 29throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with 30justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. 31The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
