Isaiah 9 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Unto Us a Child Is Born
1 AT the first time was the land of Zabulon alleviated, and the land of Nephthali: and at the last was aggravated the way of the sea beyond Jordan of Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 The people that walked in darkness, hath seen great light: to them that dwelt in the country of the shadow of death, light is risen.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, & not magnified the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in harvest, as conquerors rejoice after a prey is taken, when they divide the spoils.
4 For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their exactor thou hast overcome, as in the day of Madian.
5 Because all violent taking of prey with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be to be burnt, and food for the fire.
6 For A LITTLE CHILD IS BORN TO US, and a son is given to us, and his principality is made upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Marvelous, Counseller, God, Strong, Father of the world to come, the Prince of peace:
7 His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom: that he may confirm it, and strengthen it in judgement and justice, from this time & for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
