Isaiah 9:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 [a](A)The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.
3 (B)You will multiply the nation,
You (C)will [b]increase [c]their joy;
They will rejoice in Your presence
As with the joy [d]of harvest,
As people (D)rejoice when they divide the spoils.
4 For (E)You will break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their (F)oppressor, as [e]at the battle of (G)Midian.
5 For every boot of the marching warrior in the roar of battle,
And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

2 The people walking in darkness(A)
have seen a great light;(B)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(C)
a light has dawned.(D)
3 You have enlarged the nation(E)
and increased their joy;(F)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(G)

you have shattered(I)
the yoke(J) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(K)
the rod of their oppressor.(L)

and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(M)
will be fuel for the fire.
