Isaiah 9:2-7
212The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them.33You shall multiply the nation, You 4shall 5increase 6their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness 7of harvest, As 89men rejoice when they divide the spoil.4For 10You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their 11oppressor, as 12at the battle of 13Midian.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 14child will be born to us, a 15son will be given to us; And the 16government will 17rest 18on His shoulders; And His name will be called 19Wonderful Counselor, 20Mighty God, Eternal 21Father, Prince of 22Peace.7There will be 23no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the 24throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with 25justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. 26The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
