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 will multiply the nation, You 4will 5increase 6their joy; They will rejoice in Your presence As with the joy 7of harvest, As people 8rejoice when they divide the spoils.4For 9You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, The rod of their 10oppressor, as 11at the battle of 12Midian.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 13Child will be born to us, a 14Son will be given to us; And the 15government will 16rest 17on His shoulders; And His name will be called 18Wonderful Counselor, 19Mighty God, Eternal 20Father, Prince of 21Peace.7There will be 22no end to the increase of His government or of peace On the 23throne of David and over 24his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with 25justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. 26The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this.
