World English Bible Classic
[1] 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. [2] The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.
The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
[3] 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 plunder. [4] 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. [5] 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. [6] For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. 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 shall be no end, on David’s throne, 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. [8] The Lord sent a word into Jacob,
and it falls on Israel.
[9] All the people will know,
including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
[10] “The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with cut stone.
The sycamore fig trees have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”
[11] Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin,
and will stir up his enemies,
[12] 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. [13] Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them,
neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.
[14] Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed, in one day.
[15] The elder and the honorable man is the head,
and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
[16] For those who lead this people lead them astray;
and those who are led by them are destroyed.
[17] Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men,
neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is profane and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still. [18] For wickedness burns like a fire.
It devours the briers and thorns;
yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
[19] Through Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up;
and the people are the fuel for the fire.
No one spares his brother.
[20] One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry;
and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied.
Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
[21] Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
King James Version

The Prince of Peace

[1] Nevertheless the dimness H4155 shall not be such as was in her vexation, H4164 when H6256 at the first H7223 he lightly afflicted H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali, H5321 and afterward H314 did more grievously afflict H3513 her by the way H1870 of the sea, H3220 beyond H5676 Jordan, H3383 in Galilee H1551 of the nations. H1471§ [2] The people H5971 that walked H1980 in darkness H2822 have seen H7200 a great H1419 light: H216 they that dwell H3427 in the land H776 of the shadow of death, H6757 upon H5921 them hath the light H216 shined. H5050 [3] Thou hast multiplied H7235 the nation, H1471 and not§ increased H1431 the joy: H8057 they joy H8055 before H6440 thee according to the joy H8057 in harvest, H7105 and as men rejoice H1523 when they divide H2505 the spoil. H7998 [4] For H3588 thou hast broken H2865 H853 the yoke H5923 of his burden, H5448 and the staff H4294 of his shoulder, H7926 the rod H7626 of his oppressor, H5065 as in the day H3117 of Midian. H4080 [5] For H3588 every H3605 battle H5430 of the warrior H5431 is with confused noise, H7494 and garments H8071 rolled H1556 in blood; H1818 but this shall be with burning H8316 and fuel H3980 of fire. H784 [6] For H3588 unto us a child H3206 is born, H3205 unto us a son H1121 is given: H5414 and the government H4951 shall be upon his shoulder: H7926 and his name H8034 shall be called H7121 Wonderful, H6382 Counsellor, H3289 The mighty H1368 God, H410 The everlasting H5703 Father, H1 The Prince H8269 of Peace. H7965 [7] Of the increase H4766 of his government H4951 and peace H7965 there shall be no end, H7093 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of David, H1732 and upon his kingdom, H4467 to order H3559 it, and to establish H5582 it with judgment H4941 and with justice H6666 from henceforth even for H5704 ever. H5769 The zeal H7068 of the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 will perform H6213 this. [8] The Lord H136 sent H7971 a word H1697 into Jacob, H3290 and it hath lighted H5307 upon Israel. H3478 [9] And all the people H5971 shall know, H3045 even Ephraim H669 and the inhabitant H3427 of Samaria, H8111 that say H559 in the pride H1346 and stoutness H1433 of heart, H3824 [10] The bricks H3843 are fallen down, H5307 but we will build H1129 with hewn stones: H1496 the sycomores H8256 are cut down, H1438 but we will change H2498 them into cedars. H730 [11] Therefore the Lord H3068 shall set up H7682 H853 the adversaries H6862 of Rezin H7526 against H5921 him, and join H5526§ his enemies H341 together; H5526 [12] the Syrians H758 before, H6924 and the Philistines H6430 behind; H268 and they shall devour H398 H853 Israel H3478 with open mouth. H6310 For all this his anger H639 is not turned away, H7725 but his hand H3027 is stretched out still. H5186 [13] For the people H5971 turneth H7725 not H3808 unto H5704 him that smiteth H5221 them, neither do they seek H1875 the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [14] Therefore the Lord H3068 will cut off H3772 from Israel H3478 head H7218 and tail, H2180 branch H3712 and rush, H100 in one H259 day. H3117 [15] The ancient H2205 and honourable, H6440 H5375 he H1931 is the head; H7218 and the prophet H5030 that teacheth H3384 lies, H8267 he is the tail. H2180 [16] For the leaders H833§ of this people H5971 cause them to err; H8582 and they that are led H833 of them are destroyed. H1104 [17] Therefore the Lord H136 shall have no joy H8055 in their young men, H970 neither shall have mercy H7355 on H5921 their fatherless H3490 and widows: H490 for every one is an hypocrite H2611 and an evildoer, H7489 and every mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 folly. H5039§ For H3588 all H3605 this H2063 his anger H639 is not turned away, H7725 but his hand H3027 is stretched out still. H5186 [18] For H3588 wickedness H7564 burneth H1197 as the fire: H784 it shall devour H398 the briers H8068 and thorns, H7898 and shall kindle H3341 in the thickets H5442 of the forest, H3293 and they shall mount up H55 like the lifting up H1348 of smoke. H6227 [19] Through the wrath H5678 of the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 is the land H776 darkened, H6272 and the people H5971 shall be as the fuel H3980§ of the fire: H784 no man H376 shall spare H2550 his brother. H251 [20] And he shall snatch H1504§ on H5921 the right hand, H3225 and be hungry; H7457 and he shall eat H398 on H5921 the left hand, H8040 and they shall not be satisfied: H7646 they shall eat H398 every man H376 the flesh H1320 of his own arm: H2220 [21] Manasseh, H4519 Ephraim; H669 and Ephraim, H669 Manasseh: H4519 and they together H3162 shall be against Judah. H3063 For all this his anger H639 is not turned away, H7725 but his hand H3027 is stretched out still. H5186
