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.
