Isaiah 9 (WEBP)

[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.

Isaiah 9 (KJVS)

[1] Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, 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 of the nations.
[2] The people that walked () in darkness have seen () a great light: they that dwell () in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. ()
[3] Thou hast multiplied () the nation, and not increased () the joy: they joy () before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice () when they divide () the spoil.
[4] For thou hast broken () the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, () as in the day of Midian.
[5] For every battle of the warrior () is with confused noise, and garments rolled () in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
[6] For unto us a child is born, () unto us a son is given: () and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called () Wonderful, Counsellor, () The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
[7] Of the increase of his government and peace 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 zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform () this.
[8] 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 are fallen down, () but we will build () with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, () but we will change () them into cedars.
[11] Therefore the Lord shall set up () the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies () together; ()
[12] the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour () Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, () but his hand is stretched out still. ()
[13] For the people turneth () not unto 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 honourable, () he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth () lies, he is the tail.
[16] For the leaders () of this people cause them to err; () and they that are led () of them are destroyed. ()
[17] Therefore the Lord shall have no joy () in their young men, neither shall have mercy () on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, () and every mouth speaketh () folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, () but his hand is stretched out still. ()
[18] 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 lifting up of smoke.
[19] Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, () and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare () his brother.
[20] And he shall 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. ()

Isaiah 9 (BYZ)

[1] [8:23] και ουκ απορηθησεται ο εν στενοχωρια ων εως καιρου τουτο πρωτον ποιει ταχυ ποιει χωρα ζαβουλων η γη νεφθαλιμ οδον θαλασσης και οι λοιποι οι την παραλιαν κατοικουντες και περαν του ιορδανου γαλιλαια των εθνων τα μερη της ιουδαιας
[2] [9:1] ο λαος ο πορευομενος εν σκοτει ιδετε φως μεγα οι κατοικουντες εν χωρα και σκια θανατου φως λαμψει εφ υμας
[3] [9:2] το πλειστον του λαου ο κατηγαγες εν ευφροσυνη σου και ευφρανθησονται ενωπιον σου ως οι ευφραινομενοι εν αμητω και ον τροπον οι διαιρουμενοι σκυλα
[4] [9:3] διοτι αφηρηται ο ζυγος ο επ αυτων κειμενος και η ραβδος η επι του τραχηλου αυτων την γαρ ραβδον των απαιτουντων διεσκεδασεν κυριος ως τη ημερα τη επι μαδιαμ
[5] [9:4] οτι πασαν στολην επισυνηγμενην δολω και ιματιον μετα καταλλαγης αποτεισουσιν και θελησουσιν ει εγενηθησαν πυρικαυστοι
[6] [9:5] οτι παιδιον εγεννηθη ημιν υιος και εδοθη ημιν ου η αρχη εγενηθη επι του ωμου αυτου και καλειται το ονομα αυτου μεγαλης βουλης αγγελος εγω γαρ αξω ειρηνην επι τους αρχοντας ειρηνην και υγιειαν αυτω
[7] [9:6] μεγαλη η αρχη αυτου και της ειρηνης αυτου ουκ εστιν οριον επι τον θρονον δαυιδ και την βασιλειαν αυτου κατορθωσαι αυτην και αντιλαβεσθαι αυτης εν δικαιοσυνη και εν κριματι απο του νυν και εις τον αιωνα χρονον ο ζηλος κυριου σαβαωθ ποιησει ταυτα
[8] [9:7] θανατον απεστειλεν κυριος επι ιακωβ και ηλθεν επι ισραηλ
[9] [9:8] και γνωσονται πας ο λαος του εφραιμ και οι εγκαθημενοι εν σαμαρεια εφ υβρει και υψηλη καρδια λεγοντες
[10] [9:9] πλινθοι πεπτωκασιν αλλα δευτε λαξευσωμεν λιθους και εκκοψωμεν συκαμινους και κεδρους και οικοδομησωμεν εαυτοις πυργον
[11] [9:10] και ραξει ο θεος τους επανιστανομενους επ ορος σιων επ αυτους και τους εχθρους αυτων διασκεδασει
[12] [9:11] συριαν αφ ηλιου ανατολων και τους ελληνας αφ ηλιου δυσμων τους κατεσθιοντας τον ισραηλ ολω τω στοματι επι τουτοις πασιν ουκ απεστραφη ο θυμος αλλ ετι η χειρ υψηλη
[13] [9:12] και ο λαος ουκ απεστραφη εως επληγη και τον κυριον ουκ εξεζητησαν
[14] [9:13] και αφειλεν κυριος απο ισραηλ κεφαλην και ουραν μεγαν και μικρον εν μια ημερα
[15] [9:14] πρεσβυτην και τους τα προσωπα θαυμαζοντας αυτη η αρχη και προφητην διδασκοντα ανομα ουτος η ουρα
[16] [9:15] και εσονται οι μακαριζοντες τον λαον τουτον πλανωντες και πλανωσιν οπως καταπιωσιν αυτους
[17] [9:16] δια τουτο επι τους νεανισκους αυτων ουκ ευφρανθησεται ο θεος και τους ορφανους αυτων και τας χηρας αυτων ουκ ελεησει οτι παντες ανομοι και πονηροι και παν στομα λαλει αδικα επι πασιν τουτοις ουκ απεστραφη ο θυμος αλλ ετι η χειρ υψηλη
[18] [9:17] και καυθησεται ως πυρ η ανομια και ως αγρωστις ξηρα βρωθησεται υπο πυρος και καυθησεται εν τοις δασεσι του δρυμου και συγκαταφαγεται τα κυκλω των βουνων παντα
[19] [9:18] δια θυμον οργης κυριου συγκεκαυται η γη ολη και εσται ο λαος ως υπο πυρος κατακεκαυμενος ανθρωπος τον αδελφον αυτου ουκ ελεησει
[20] [9:19] αλλα εκκλινει εις τα δεξια οτι πεινασει και φαγεται εκ των αριστερων και ου μη εμπλησθη ανθρωπος εσθων τας σαρκας του βραχιονος αυτου
[21] [9:20] φαγεται γαρ μανασση του εφραιμ και εφραιμ του μανασση οτι αμα πολιορκησουσιν τον ιουδαν επι τουτοις πασιν ουκ απεστραφη ο θυμος αλλ ετι η χειρ υψηλη
