[1]Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043[H8689] the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513[H8689] her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471.
[2]The peopleH5971 that walkedH1980[H8802] in darknessH2822 have seenH7200[H8804] a greatH1419 lightH216: they that dwellH3427[H8802] in the landH776 of the shadow of deathH6757, upon them hath the lightH216 shinedH5050.[H8804]
[3]Thou hast multipliedH7235[H8689] the nationH1471, and not increasedH1431[H8689] the joyH8057: they joyH8055[H8804] beforeH6440 thee according to the joyH8057 in harvestH7105, and as men rejoiceH1523[H8799] when they divideH2505[H8763] the spoilH7998.
[4]For thou hast brokenH2865[H8689] the yokeH5923 of his burdenH5448, and the staffH4294 of his shoulderH7926, the rodH7626 of his oppressorH5065[H8802], as in the dayH3117 of MidianH4080.
[5]For every battleH5430 of the warriorH5431[H8802] is with confused noiseH7494, and garmentsH8071 rolledH1556[H8775] in bloodH1818; but this shall be with burningH8316 and fuelH3980 of fireH784.
[6]For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205[H8795], unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414[H8738]: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121[H8799] WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289[H8802], The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
[7]Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559[H8687] it, and to establishH5582[H8800] it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 thisH8799.
[8]The LordH136 sentH7971[H8804] a wordH1697 into JacobH3290, and it hath lightedH5307[H8804] upon IsraelH3478.
[9]And all the peopleH5971 shall knowH3045[H8804], even EphraimH669 and the inhabitantH3427[H8802] of SamariaH8111, that sayH559[H8800] in the prideH1346 and stoutnessH1433 of heartH3824,
[10]The bricksH3843 are fallen downH5307[H8804], but we will buildH1129[H8799] with hewn stonesH1496: the sycomoresH8256 are cut downH1438[H8795], but we will changeH2498[H8686] them into cedarsH730.
[11]Therefore the LORDH3068 shall set upH7682[H8762] the adversariesH6862 of RezinH7526 against him, and joinH5526 his enemiesH341[H8802] H5526togetherH8770
[12]The SyriansH758 beforeH6924, and the PhilistinesH6430 behindH268; and they shall devourH398[H8799] IsraelH3478 with open mouthH6310. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725[H8804], but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.[H8803]
[13]For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725[H8804] not unto him that smitethH5221[H8688] them, neither do they seekH1875[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[14]Therefore the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772[H8686] from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117.
[15]The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440[H5375][H8803], heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384[H8688] liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
[16]For the leadersH833[H8764] of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582[H8688]; and they that are ledH833[H8794] of them are destroyedH1104.[H8794]
[17]Therefore the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055[H8799] in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355[H8762] on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489[H8688], and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696[H8802] follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725[H8804], but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.[H8803]
[18]For wickednessH7564 burnethH1197[H8804] as the fireH784: it shall devourH398[H8799] the briersH8068 and thornsH7898, and shall kindleH3341[H8799] in the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293, and they shall mount upH55[H8691] like the lifting upH1348 of smokeH6227.
[19]Through the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the landH776 darkenedH6272[H8738], and the peopleH5971 shall be as the fuelH3980 of the fireH784: no manH376 shall spareH2550[H8799] his brotherH251.
[20]And he shall snatchH1504[H8799] on the right handH3225, and be hungryH7457; and he shall eatH398[H8799] on the left handH8040, and they shall not be satisfiedH7646[H8804]: they shall eatH398[H8799] every manH376 the fleshH1320 of his own armH2220:
[21]ManassehH4519, EphraimH669; and EphraimH669, ManassehH4519: and they togetherH3162 shall be against JudahH3063. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725[H8804], but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.[H8803]
