Isaiah 9

1 What joy shall be in the midst of afflictions, by the Kingdom and birth of Christ. 8 The judgments upon Israel for their pride, 13 for their hypocrisy, 18 and for their impenitency.

 9:1 ¶ Nevertheless x3588 the dimness 4155 [shall] not x3808 [be] such as x834 [was] in her vexation, 4164 when 6256 at the first 7223 he lightly afflicted 7043 z8689 the land 776 of Zebulun 2074 and the land 776 of Naphtali, 5321 and afterward 314 did more grievously afflict 3513 z8689 [her by] the way 1870 of the sea, 3220 beyond 5676 Jordan, 3383 in Galilee 1551 of the nations. 1471

 9:2 The people 5971 that walked 1980 z8802 in darkness 2822 have seen 7200 z8804 a great 1419 light: 216 they that dwell 3427 z8802 in the land 776 of the shadow of death, 6757 upon x5921 them hath the light 216 shined. 5050 z8804

 9:3 Thou hast multiplied 7235 z8689 the nation, 1471 [and] not x3808 increased 1431 z8689 the joy: 8057 they joy 8055 z8804 before 6440 thee according to the joy 8057 in harvest, 7105 [and] as x834 [men] rejoice 1523 z8799 when they divide 2505 z8763 the spoil. 7998

 9:4 For x3588 thou hast broken 2865 z8689 x853 the yoke 5923 of his burden, 5448 and the staff 4294 of his shoulder, 7926 the rod 7626 of his oppressor, 5065 z8802 as in the day 3117 of Midian. 4080

 9:5 For x3588 every x3605 battle 5430 of the warrior 5431 z8802 [is] with confused noise, 7494 and garments 8071 rolled 1556 z8775 in blood; 1818 but [this] shall be x1961 with burning 8316 [and] fuel 3980 of fire. 784

 9:6 For x3588 unto us a child 3206 is born, 3205 z8795 unto us a son 1121 is given: 5414 z8738 and the government 4951 shall be upon x5921 his shoulder: 7926 and his name 8034 shall be x1961 called 7121 z8799 Wonderful, 6382 Counselor, 3289 z8802 The mighty 1368 God, 410 The everlasting 5703 Father, 1 The Prince 8269 of Peace. 7965

 9:7 Of the increase 4766 of [his] government 4951 and peace 7965 [there shall be] no x369 end, 7093 upon x5921 the throne 3678 of David, 1732 and upon x5921 his kingdom, 4467 to order 3559 z8687 it, and to establish 5582 z8800 it with judgment 4941 and with justice 6666 from henceforth x4480 x6258 even forever. 5769 5704 The zeal 7068 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will perform 6213 z8799 this. x2063

 9:8 ¶ The Lord 136 sent 7971 z8804 a word 1697 into Jacob, 3290 and it hath lighted 5307 z8804 upon Israel. 3478

 9:9 And all x3605 the people 5971 shall know, 3045 z8804 [even] Ephraim 669 and the inhabitant 3427 z8802 of Samaria, 8111 that say 559 z8800 in the pride 1346 and stoutness 1433 of heart, 3824

 9:10 The bricks 3843 are fallen down, 5307 z8804 but we will build 1129 z8799 with hewn stones: 1496 the sycamores 8256 are cut down, 1438 z8795 but we will change 2498 z8686 [them into] cedars. 730

 9:11 Therefore the LORD 3068 shall set up 7682 z8762 x853 the adversaries 6862 of Rezin 7526 against x5921 him, and join y5526 z0 his enemies y341 z8802 together; 5526 z8770 x853 x341

 9:12 The Syrians 758 before, 6924 x4480 and the Philistines 6430 behind; 268 x4480 and they shall devour 398 z8799 x853 Israel 3478 with open x3605 mouth. 6310 For all x3605 this x2063 his anger 639 is not x3808 turned away, 7725 z8804 but his hand 3027 [is] stretched out x5186 still. y5186 z8803 x5750

 9:13 ¶ For the people 5971 turneth 7725 z8804 not x3808 unto x5704 him that smiteth 5221 z8688 them, neither x3808 do they seek 1875 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

 9:14 Therefore the LORD 3068 will cut off 3772 z8686 from Israel 3478 x4480 head 7218 and tail, 2180 branch 3712 and rush, 100 in one 259 day. 3117

 9:15 The ancient 2205 and honorable, 6440 5375 z8803 he 1931 [is] the head; 7218 and the prophet 5030 that teacheth 3384 z8688 lies, 8267 he x1931 [is] the tail. 2180

 9:16 For the leaders 833 z8764 of this x2088 people 5971 cause [them] to err; 8582 z8688 and [they that are] led 833 z8794 of them [are] destroyed. 1104 z8794

 9:17 Therefore x5921 x3651 the Lord 136 shall have no x3808 joy 8055 z8799 in x5921 their young men, 970 neither x3808 shall have mercy 7355 z8762 on their fatherless 3490 and widows: 490 for x3588 every one x3605 [is] a hypocrite 2611 and an evildoer, 7489 z8688 and every x3605 mouth 6310 speaketh 1696 z8802 folly. 5039 For all x3605 this x2063 his anger 639 is not x3808 turned away, 7725 z8804 but his hand 3027 [is] stretched out x5186 still. y5186 z8803 x5750

 9:18 ¶ For x3588 wickedness 7564 burneth 1197 z8804 as the fire: 784 it shall devour 398 z8799 the briers 8068 and thorns, 7898 and shall kindle 3341 z8799 in the thickets 5442 of the forest, 3293 and they shall mount up 55 z8691 [like] the lifting up 1348 of smoke. 6227

 9:19 Through the wrath 5678 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is the land 776 darkened, 6272 z8738 and the people 5971 shall be x1961 as the fuel 3980 of the fire: 784 no x3808 man 376 shall spare 2550 z8799 x413 his brother. 251

 9:20 And he shall snatch 1504 z8799 on x5921 the right hand, 3225 and be hungry; y7457 x7456 and he shall eat 398 z8799 on x5921 the left hand, 8040 and they shall not x3808 be satisfied: 7646 z8804 they shall eat 398 z8799 every man 376 the flesh 1320 of his own arm: 2220

 9:21 Manasseh, 4519 x853 Ephraim; 669 and Ephraim, 669 x853 Manasseh: 4519 [and] they x1992 together 3162 [shall be] against x5921 Judah. 3063 For all x3605 this x2063 his anger 639 is not x3808 turned away, 7725 z8804 but his hand 3027 [is] stretched out x5186 still. y5186 z8803 x5750
