ULT ISA Chapter 9

◄ ISA 9 ► ║ ©

9 For it will not cover over she who is distressed. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but later, he will glorify it, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

2 The people who walked in darkness

have seen a great light;

those who have lived in the land of darkness,

the light has shone on them.

3 You have multiplied the nation itself;

you have increased its joy.

They rejoice before your face

like the joy at harvest time,

as they rejoice

when dividing the plunder.

4 For the yoke of his burden

and the staff of his shoulder,

the rod of his oppressor,

you have broken as the day of Midian.

5 For every boot treading loudly

and the garment rolled in blood

will be burned, fuel of fire.

6 For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the rule will be on his shoulder;

and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

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

on the throne of David, and over his kingdom,

to establish it and sustain it

with justice and with righteousness from now and to eternity.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,

and it fell on Israel.

9 And the people will know, all of it,

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,

in pride and with an arrogant heart, saying,

10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone;

the sycamores are felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”

11 And Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, the adversary,

and will stir up his enemies,

12 the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west,

and they will devour Israel with a whole mouth.

In all these things, his nose does not draw back,

and his hand is still stretched out.

13 And the people will not turn to him who struck it,

and they will not seek Yahweh of hosts.

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

palm branch and reed in one day.

15 The elder and the noble of face are the head,

and the prophet teaching lies is the tail.

16 And the guides of this people have misled,

and its guided are swallowed up.

17 Therefore, the Lord will not rejoice over their young men

and on their fatherless and widows he will not have compassion ,

since everyone is godless and an evildoer,

and every mouth speaks foolish things.

In all these things, his nose does not draw back,

and his hand is still stretched out.

18 For wickedness burns like a fire;

it devours the briers and thorns,

and it kindles the thickets of the forest,

and they mount up in a rising of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched,

and it will happen: the people as fuel of fire;

a man does not spare his brother.

20 And they will devour on the right but be hungry,

and they will eat on the left but not be satisfied.

Every man will eat the flesh of his arm.

21 Manasseh to Ephraim,

and Ephraim, Manasseh

together they will be against Judah.

In all these things, his nose does not draw back,

and his hand is still stretched out.
