ULT ISA Chapter 9

◄ ISA 9 ► ║ ═ ©

9 But gloom will not be for her to whom distress was. As in the former time, he dishonored the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but later he will glorify the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

2 The people walking in darkness will see a great light.

The dwellers of a land of deep darkness, light will shine on them.

3 You will multiply the nation; you will increase joy for it.

They will rejoice to your face like the rejoicing at the harvest,

as they exult when they divide spoil.

4 For the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder,

the rod of the one oppressing him,

you will shatter as in the day of Midian.

5 For every boot of one booting in commotion

and the garment rolled in blood

will be for burning, fuel of fire.

6 For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us,

and the dominion will be on his shoulder.

And one will call his name Wonder of a Counselor,

Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of the dominion and of peace there will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

to establish it and to sustain it

with justice and with righteousness,

from now and until forever.

The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will do this.

8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,

and it has fallen on Israel.

9 And the people know, all of it,

Ephraim and the dweller of Samaria.

In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,

10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with hewn stone.

Sycamores have been cut down, but we will change them into cedars.”

11 For Yahweh has raised up the adversaries of Rezin against him,

and he has spurred on his enemies,

12 Aram from the east and the Philistines from behind,

and they have devoured Israel with all of the mouth.

In all of this, his nose has not turned back,

and his hand is still stretched out.

13 And the people has not returned to the one striking it,

and they have not sought Yahweh of Armies.

14 So Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail,

palm branch and reed, in one day.

15 The elder and the lifted of face, he is the head,

and the prophet teaching falsehood, he is the tail.

16 For the guides of this people are misleading them,

and its guided ones are being swallowed up.

17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men,

and he does not pity its orphans and its widows,

for all of it is godless and doing evil,

and every mouth is speaking foolishness.

In all of this, his nose has not turned back,

and his hand is still stretched out.

18 For wickedness burns like fire;

it devours the briar and the thorn.

And it kindles in the thickets of the forest,

and they roll upward in a rising of smoke.

19 By the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, the land is scorched,

and the people are like fuel of fire.

A man does not have pity on his brother.

20 And he will cut off on the right, but he will be hungry,

and he will eat on the left, but they will not have enough.

A man will eat the flesh of his arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh;

together they will be against Judah.

In all of this, his nose has not turned back,

and his hand is still stretched out.
