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 will make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of the 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 will multiply the nation, You 9will 10increase 11their joy; They will rejoice in Your presence As with the joy 12of harvest, As people 13rejoice when they divide the spoils.4For 14You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their 15oppressor, as 16at the battle of 17Midian.5For every boot of the marching warrior in the roar of battle, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.6For a 18Child will be born to us, a 19Son will be given to us; And the 20government will 21rest 22on His shoulders; And His name will be called 23Wonderful Counselor, 24Mighty God, Eternal 25Father, Prince of 26Peace.7There will be 27no end to the increase of His government or of peace On the 28throne of David and over 29his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with 30justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. 31The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this.
