Isaiah 9:1-4

American Standard Version

9 ^[a]But there shall be no gloom to her that 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 hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, ^[b]Galilee of the nations. ² The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the ^[c]shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. ³ Thou hast multiplied the nation, ^[d]thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. ⁴ For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
