Chapter 9. Nevertheless the Gloom will not be upon Her who is distressed as when at first He lightly esteemed the land of zebulun And the land of naphthali and afterward More heavily oppressed her by the way of The sea beyond the Jordan in Galilee of The Gentiles The people who walked in darkness have Seen a great light Those who dwelt in the land of the Shadow of death Upon them a light has shined You have multiplied the nation and Increased its Joy They Rejoice before you according to the Joy of harvest as men rejoice when they Divide the spoil For you have broken the Yoke of his Burden and the staff of his shoulder The rod of his oppressor As in the day of Midian For every Warrior's Sandal from the Noisy battle and garments rolled in Blood Will be used for burning and fuel of Fire For unto us a child is born Unto us a son is given And the government will be upon his Shoulder And his name will be called wonderful Counselor Mighty God Everlasting father
Prince of Peace Of the increase of his government and Peace there will be no end Upon the throne of David and over his Kingdom To order it and establish it with Judgment and Justice from that time Forward even forever The Zeal of the Lord of hosts will Perform this The Lord sent a word against Jacob and It has fallen on Israel All the people will know Ephraim and the Inhabitant of Samaria who say in pride And arrogance of heart The bricks have fallen down but we will Rebuild with human stones The sycamores are cut down but we will Replace them with Cedars Therefore the Lord shall set up the Adversaries of Reason against him And spur his enemies on The syrians before and the Philistines Behind And they shall devour Israel with an Open mouth For all this his anger is not turned Away But his hand is stretched out still For the people do not turn to him who Strikes them nor do they seek the Lord Of hosts Therefore the Lord will cut off head and Tail from Israel
Palm brunch and bullrush in one day The Elder and honorable he is the head The prophet who teaches lies he is the Tale For the leaders of this people cause Them to ER And those who are led by them are Destroyed Therefore the Lord will have no joy in Their young men Nor have mercy on their fatherless and Widows For everyone is a hypocrite and an evil Doer and every mouth speaks folly For all this His anger is not turned away But his hand is stretched out still For wickedness Burns as the fire It shall Devour the Briars and thorns And Kindle in the thickets of the forest They shall Mount up like Rising smoke Through the Wrath of the Lord of hosts The land is burned up And the people shall be as fuel for the Fire No man shall spare his brother And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry He shall devour on the left hand and not Be satisfied Every man shall eat the Flesh of his own Arm Manasseh shall devour Ephraim and Ephraim Manasseh
Together they shall be against Judah For all this his anger is not turned Away But his hand is stretched out still
