Berean Standard Bible
Nevertheless the
dimness
shall
not
be such
as
was
in her
vexation,
when
at
the first
he lightly
afflicted
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and
afterward
did
more
grievously
afflict
her
by
the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in
Galilee of the nations .
Nevertheless ,
there
will
be no
more
gloom
for
those
in distress.
In
the past
He humbled
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but
in
the future
He
will
honor
the
Way of the Sea, beyond the
Jordan, Galilee of the nations :

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
.

in darkness have seen a great light ;

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
.
You
have
enlarged
the nation and increased its
joy .
The people
rejoice
before
You
as
they
rejoice
at
harvest time
, as men rejoice in
dividing
the plunder
.
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
.
For as
in
the day
of
Midian
You
have
shattered
the

For every battle
of the

fire.

Prince of Peace.

be no end ,

even
for
ever
. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform
this.

know ,
even

are
cut
down
, but we will change

before,
and the Philistines
behind;

shall
devour

. For
all this his anger is not turned away ,

the tail.

is the elder
and honorable
man
, and

the
prophet
who
teaches

For the
leaders
of
this people cause
them to
err;
and they that
are
led
of
them
are destroyed
.

who
guide
this people mislead
them ,
and those
they mislead
are swallowed
up
.
Therefore the LORD shall
have
no joy
in their young men ,
neither
shall
have
mercy
on their fatherless and widows :
for every one is an
hypocrite
and an
evildoer
, and every mouth speaketh
folly. For
all this his anger is not turned away ,
but
his hand is stretched
out
still.

no pleasure
in their young men ;
He
has
no
compassion
on their fatherless and widows .

them
is godless
and wicked
, and every mouth speaks
folly. Despite
all this ,
His anger is not turned away ;
His hand is still upraised
.
For wickedness burneth
as
the
fire :
it
shall
devour
the briers
and
thorns ,
and shall
kindle
in
the
thickets
of
the
forest,
and they
shall
mount
up
like
the lifting
up
of smoke.

thickets

, and the people shall

as
the
fuel of
the fire :

spare
his brother.

shall
snatch
on the right hand
, and
be
hungry; and
he
shall
eat on the left hand
, and
they shall
not be
satisfied :
they
shall
eat
every
man
the flesh of his own arm:
They
carve
out
what
is
on the right, but
they
are
still
hungry; they
eat what
is
on the left, but
they are
still
not satisfied .
Each
one
devours
the flesh of his own offspring.
Manasseh ,
Ephraim ;
and Ephraim ,
Manasseh :
and
they
together shall
be
against Judah. For
all this his anger is not turned away ,
but
his hand is stretched
out
still.
Manasseh devours
Ephraim ,
and Ephraim Manasseh ;
together they
turn
against Judah. Despite
all this ,
His anger is not turned away ;
His hand is still upraised
.
