NASB — Isaiah 9 — KJV

Birth and Reign of the Prince of Peace

1 IBut there will be no° [more] agloom° for her who° was in anguish°; in earlier° times° He btreated° the cland° 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 IIGentiles°.
  2 IaThe people° who walk° in darkness°
  Will see° a great° light°;
  Those who live° in a dark° land°,
  The light° will shine° on them.
  3 aYou shall multiply° the nation°,
  You bshall Iincrease° IItheir gladness°;
  They will be glad° in Your presence°
  As with the gladness° IIIof harvest°,
  As IVcmen rejoice° when they divide° the spoil°.
  4 For aYou shall break° the yoke° of their burden° and the staff° on their shoulders°,
  The rod° of their boppressor°, as Iat the battle° of cMidian°.
  5 For every° boot° of the booted° warrior° in the [battle] tumult°,
  And cloak° rolled° in blood°, will be for burning°, fuel° for the fire°.
  6 For a achild° will be born° to us, a bson° will be given° to us;
  And the cgovernment° will Irest° don His shoulders°;
  And His name° will be called° eWonderful° Counselor°, fMighty° God°,
  Eternal° gFather°, Prince° of hPeace°.
  7 There° will be ano° end° to the increase° of [His] government° or of peace°,
  On the bthrone° of David° and over° his kingdom°,
  To establish° it and to uphold° it with cjustice° and righteousness°
  From then° on and forevermore°°.
  dThe zeal° of the LORD° of hosts° will accomplish° this°.

God’s Anger with Israel’s Arrogance

  8 ¶ The Lord° sends° a Imessage° against Jacob°,
  And it falls° on Israel°.
  9 And all° the people° know° [it],
  [That is], aEphraim° and the inhabitants° of Samaria°,
  Asserting° in pride° and in barrogance° of heart°:
  10 “The bricks° have fallen° down°,
  But we will arebuild° with smooth° stones°;
  The sycamores° have been cut° down°,
  But we will replace° [them] with cedars°.”
  11 Therefore the LORD° raises° against° them adversaries° from aRezin°
  And spurs° their enemies° on,
  12 The Arameans° on the east° and the aPhilistines° on the west°;
  And they bdevour° Israel° with Igaping° jaws°.
  cIn [spite of] all° this°, His anger° does not turn° away°
  And His hand° is still° stretched° out.

  [Both] palm° branch° and bulrush° bin a single° day°.

  16 aFor those who guide° this° people° are leading° [them] astray°;
  And those who are guided° by them are Ibrought° to confusion°.
  17 Therefore°° the Lord° does anot take° pleasure° in their young° men°,
  bNor° does He have° pity° on their Iorphans° or their widows°;
  For every° one° of them is cgodless° and an devildoer°,

What joy shall be in the midst of afflictions, by the Kingdom and birth of Christ.

1 ¶ Nevertheless² the dimnessº [shall] not² [be] such as² [was] in her vexation,º whenº at the firstº he lightly afflictedºª the landº of Zebulunº and the landº of Naphtali,º and afterwardº did more grievously afflictºª [her by] the wayº of the sea,º beyondº Jordan,º in Galileeº of the nations.º 2 The peopleº that walkedºª in darknessº have seenºª a greatº light:º they that dwellºª in the landº of the shadow of death,º upon² them hath the lightº shined.ºª 3 Thou hast multipliedºª the nation,º [and] not² increasedºª the joy:º they joyºª beforeº thee according to the joyº in harvest,º [and] as² [men] rejoiceºª when they divideºª the spoil.º 4 For² thou hast brokenºª² the yokeº of his burden,º and the staffº of his shoulder,º the rodº of his oppressor,ºª as in the dayº of Midian.º 5 For² every² battleº of the warriorºª [is] with confused noise,º and garmentsº rolledºª in blood;º but [this] shall be² with burningº [and] fuelº of fire.º 6 For² unto us a childº is born,ºª unto us a sonº is given:ºª and the governmentº shall be upon² his shoulder:º and his nameº shall be² calledºª Wonderful,º Counsellor,ºª The mightyº God,º The everlastingº Father,º The Princeº of Peace.º 7 Of the increaseº of [his] governmentº and peaceº [there shall be] no² end,º upon² the throneº of David,º and upon² his kingdom,º to orderºª it, and to establishºª it with judgmentº and with justiceº from henceforth²² even for¹ ever.º² The zealº of the LORDº of hostsº will performºª this.²
