Isaiah 9:2-6
English Standard Version
2 [a] (A)The people (B)who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of (C)deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
3 (D)You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with (E)joy at the harvest,
as they (F)are glad (G)when they divide the spoil.
4 (H)For the yoke of his burden,
(I)and the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as (J)on the day of Midian.
5 (K)For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 (L)For to us a child is born,
to us (M)a son is given;
(N)and the government shall be (O)upon[b] his shoulder,
and his name shall be called[c]
Wonderful (P)Counselor, (Q)Mighty God,
(R)Everlasting (S)Father, Prince of (T)Peace.

Isaiah 9:2-6
King James Version
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.
