Isaiah 9

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Nevertheless <em>this</em> darkness <em>shall</em> not <em>be</em> the same as the affliction that came upon her when they lightly touched the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, nor afterward when they more grievously afflicted <em>her by</em> the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.

2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; those that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.

3 As thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee as they rejoice in the harvest <em>and</em> as <em>men</em> rejoice when they divide the spoil.

4 For thou hast broken his heavy yoke and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

5 For every battle of him who fights <em>is</em> with shaking <em>of the earth</em> and the rolling of garments in blood; but <em>this</em> shall be with burning <em>and</em> consuming of fire.

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government is <em>placed</em> upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called The Wonderful <em>One</em>, The Counsellor, The God, The Mighty <em>One</em>, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 The multitude of <em>his</em> dominion and the peace shall have no end upon the throne of David and upon his Kingdom, ordering it and confirming it in judgment and in righteousness from now on even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of the hosts will perform this.

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.

9 And all the people shall know, <em>even</em> Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and arrogance of heart,

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the wild fig trees are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.

11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him and join his enemies together,

12 the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand <em>is</em> stretched out still.

13 But the people did not turn unto him that smote them, neither did they seek the LORD of the hosts.

14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

15 The ancient and venerable to look upon is the head; the prophet that teaches lies, he is <em>the</em> tail.

16 For the governors of this people are deceivers, and those who are governed by them <em>are</em> lost.

17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless and widows, for every one <em>is</em> a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand <em>is</em> stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burns as the fire, it shall devour the briers and thorns and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up <em>like</em> the lifting up of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of the LORD of the hosts the land is darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry, and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied; they shall eat each man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; <em>and</em> they together <em>shall be</em> against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand <em>is</em> stretched out still.

New International Version NIV

1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—

2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.

3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.

5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel.

9 All the people will know it— Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— who say with pride and arrogance of heart,

10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”

11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.

12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty.

14 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day;

15 the elders and dignitaries are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail.

16 Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray.

17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks folly. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns, it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.

19 By the wrath of the LORD Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; they will not spare one another.

20 On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring :

21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh; together they will turn against Judah. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
