Then they will look to the earth and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness.
But there will be no more gloom for who was in anguish; in earlier times he treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
The people who walk in darkness will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them.
You shall multiply the nation, You shall incease their gladness;
They will be glad in your presence as with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.
For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle of tumult, And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
For a child will be forn to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness. From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this....
Isaiah 8:22-9:7
