008:020 Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don't speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. 008:021 They will pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward, 008:022 and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness. 009:001 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 009:002 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined. 009:003 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 009:004 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian. 009:005 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire. 009:006 For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 009:007 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this. 009:008 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel. 009:009 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart, 009:010 "The bricks have fallen, but we will build with hewn stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place." 009:011 Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies, 009:012 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 009:013 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies. 009:014 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day. 009:015 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
