1 Nevertheless H3588 CONJ the dimness H4155 shall not H3808 NADV be such as H834 L-RPRO was in her vexation H4164 NMS , when H6256 KD-NMS at the first H7223 he lightly afflicted H7043 the land H776 NFS-3FS of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 , and afterward H314 did more grievously afflict H3513 her by the way H1870 NMS of the sea H3220 D-NMS , beyond H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , in Galilee H1551 of the nations H1471 .
2 The people H5971 that walked H1980 in darkness H2822 BD-NMS have seen H7200 VQQ3MP a great H1419 AMS light H216 NMS : they that dwell H3427 in the land H776 B-GFS of the shadow of death H6757 NMS , upon H5921 PREP-3MP them hath the light H216 NMS shined H5050 .
3 Thou hast multiplied H7235 the nation H1471 , and not H3808 NPAR increased H1431 the joy H8057 : they joy H8055 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee according to the joy H8057 in harvest H7105 , and as H834 K-RPRO men rejoice H1523 when they divide H2505 the spoil H7998 NMS .
4 For H3588 CONJ thou hast broken H2865 the yoke H5923 of his burden H5448 , and the staff H4294 of his shoulder H7926 , the rod H7626 CMS of his oppressor H5065 , as in the day H3117 of Midian H4080 .
5 For H3588 CONJ every H3605 CMS battle H5430 of the warrior H5431 is with confused noise H7494 B-NMS , and garments H8071 rolled H1556 in blood H1818 ; but this shall be H1961 W-VQQ3FS with burning H8316 L-NFS and fuel H3980 of fire H784 NMS .
6 For H3588 CONJ unto us a child H3206 is born H3205 VWQ3MS , unto us a son H1121 NMS is given H5414 : and the government H4951 shall be upon H5921 PREP his shoulder H7926 : and his name H8034 CMS-3MS shall be H1961 W-VQY3FS called H7121 W-VQY3MS Wonderful H6382 , Counselor H3289 , The mighty H1368 AMS God H410 EDS , The everlasting H5703 Father H1 , The Prince H8269 of Peace H7965 .
7 Of the increase H4766 of his government H4951 and peace H7965 there shall be no H369 ADV end H7093 RMS , upon H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 , and upon H5921 PREP his kingdom H4467 CFS-3MS , to order H3559 it , and to establish H5582 it with judgment H4941 and with justice H6666 from henceforth H6258 even forever H5704 W-PREP . The zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 will perform H6213 VQY2MS this H2063 DPRO .
8 The Lord H136 EDS sent H7971 VQQ3MS a word H1697 VQPMS into Jacob H3290 , and it hath lighted H5307 upon Israel H3478 .
9 And all H3605 CMS-3MS the people H5971 shall know H3045 , even Ephraim H669 and the inhabitant H3427 of Samaria H8111 , that say H559 L-VQFC in the pride H1346 and stoutness H1433 of heart H3824 NMS ,
10 The bricks H3843 NMP are fallen down H5307 , but we will build H1129 VQI1MS with hewn stones H1496 : the sycamores H8256 are cut down H1438 , but we will change H2498 them into cedars H730 .
11 Therefore the LORD H3068 EDS shall set up H7682 the adversaries H6862 of Rezin H7526 against H5921 PREP-3MS him , and join his enemies together H5526 ;
12 The Syrians H758 EMS before H6924 M-NMS , and the Philistines H6430 behind H268 ; and they shall devour H398 W-VQY3MP Israel H3478 with open H3605 B-CMS mouth H6310 . For all H3605 B-CMS this H2063 DPRO his anger H639 CMS-3MS is not H3808 NADV turned away H7725 VQQ3MS , but his hand H3027 CFS-3MS is stretched out H5186 still H5750 W-ADV .
13 For the people H5971 turneth H7725 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV unto H5704 PREP him that smiteth H5221 them , neither H3808 NADV do they seek H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
14 Therefore the LORD H3068 EDS will cut off H3772 from Israel H3478 head H7218 NMS and tail H2180 , branch H3712 and rush H100 , in one H259 ONUM day H3117 NMS .
15 The ancient H2205 PFS and honorable H5375 W-VWCMS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the head H7218 ; and the prophet H5030 that teacheth H3384 lies H8267 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the tail H2180 .
16 For the leaders H833 of this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 cause them to err H8582 ; and they that are led H833 of them are destroyed H1104 .
17 Therefore H5921 PREP the Lord H136 EDS shall have no H3808 ADV joy H8055 in H5921 PREP their young men H970 , neither H3808 NADV shall have mercy H7355 on their fatherless H3490 and widows H490 : for H3588 CONJ every one H3605 is a hypocrite H2611 NMS and an evildoer H7489 , and every H3605 W-CMS mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 VQPMS folly H5039 NFS . For all H3605 B-CMS this H2063 DPRO his anger H639 CMS-3MS is not H3808 NADV turned away H7725 VQQ3MS , but his hand H3027 CFS-3MS is stretched out H5186 still H5750 W-ADV .
18 For H3588 CONJ wickedness H7564 burneth H1197 as the fire H784 : it shall devour H398 VQY3FS the briers H8068 and thorns H7898 , and shall kindle H3341 in the thickets H5442 of the forest H3293 , and they shall mount up H55 like the lifting up H1348 of smoke H6227 .
19 Through the wrath H5678 of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 is the land H776 NFS darkened H6272 , and the people H5971 shall be H1961 W-VQY3MS as the fuel H3980 of the fire H784 CMS : no H3808 NADV man H376 NMS shall spare H2550 his brother H251 CMS-3MS .
20 And he shall snatch H1504 on H5921 PREP the right hand H3225 NFS , and be hungry H7456 ; and he shall eat H398 on H5921 PREP the left hand H8040 NMS , and they shall not H3808 W-NPAR be satisfied H7646 : they shall eat H398 every man H376 NMS the flesh H1320 CMS of his own arm H2220 :
21 Manasseh H4519 , Ephraim H669 ; and Ephraim H669 , Manasseh H4519 : and they H1992 PPRO-3MP together H3162 ADV-3MS shall be against H5921 PREP Judah H3063 . For all H3605 B-CMS this H2063 DPRO his anger H639 CMS-3MS is not H3808 NADV turned away H7725 VQQ3MS , but his hand H3027 CFS-3MS is stretched out H5186 still H5750 W-ADV .
