CHAP. IX.
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 impenitence.
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall
not be such as was in her distress,
when at the first he lightly afflicted the
land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali,
and afterward did more grievously
afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond
Jordan, in Galilee note of the nations.
2 noteThe people that walked in darkness
have seen a great light: they that
dwell in the land of the shades of death,
upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation,
and note not increased the joy: they joy before
thee according to the joy in harvest,
and as men rejoice when they divide the
spoil.
4 noteFor thou hast broken the yoke of
his burden, and the staff of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of
note Midian.
5 noteFor every battle of the warrior is
with confused noise, and garments rolled
in blood; note but this shall be with burning
and note fuel of fire.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a note son
is given: and the government shall be
upon his shoulder: and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counselor, The
mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government
and peace note there shall be no end, upon
the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with
judgment and with justice from henceforth
even for ever. The note zeal of the
Lord of hosts will perform this.
8 ¶2; The Lord sent a word into Jacob,
and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,
that say in the pride and stoutness of
heart,
10 The bricks have fallen down, but
we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores
are cut down, but we will change
them into cedars.
11 Therefore the Lord will set up the
adversaries of Rezin against him, and
note join his enemies together;
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines
behind; and they shall devour Israel
note with open mouth. noteFor all this
his anger is not turned away, but his
hand is stretched out still.
13 ¶2; For the people turn not to him
that smiteth them, neither do they seek
the Lord of hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off
from Israel head and tail, branch and
rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honorable, he is
the head; and the prophet that teacheth
lies, he is the tail.
16 For note the leaders of this people cause
them to err; and note they that are led by
them are note destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord will have no
joy in their young men, neither will have
mercy on their fatherless and widows:
for every one is a hypocrite and an evil-doer,
and every mouth speaketh note folly.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
18 ¶2; For wickedness burneth as the
fire: it shall devour the briers and
thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets
of the forest, and they shall mount up
like the rising of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of
hosts is the land darkened, and the people
shall be as the note fuel of the fire: no
man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall note 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 every man the
flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim,
Manasseh: and they together shall be
against Judah. For all this his anger is
not turned away, but his hand is stretched
out still.
