King James Version
As the former
time
made
light
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So
the
latter
hath
honoured
the way of the sea, Beyond the
Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
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.

are
walking
in darkness Have seen a great light ,

hath
shone
upon them.

walked
in darkness have seen a great light :
they
that
dwell
in the
land of the

of

Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou
hast
made
great
its
joy ,

joyed
before Thee as
the joy in harvest, As `
men '
rejoice in
their
apportioning
spoil.
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.

the yoke of its

hast
broken
as `
in '
the day of Midian.

broken

mighty God, The
everlasting

Prince of Peace.

of Hosts doth
this.

of hosts will

Jehovah
setteth
the adversaries of Rezin on
high
above
him, And his enemies he
joineth
together ,

shall
set
up
the
adversaries of Rezin against
him, and join
his enemies together ;
Aram
from
before, and Philistia
from
behind ,
And they devour Israel with the
whole
mouth. With
all this not
turned
back
hath
His anger, And
still
His hand is stretched out.

.

face

is '
the head ,
Prophet ,
teacher

Therefore ,
over
its
young
men
the Lord rejoiceth
not,
And
its
orphans
, and its
widows He
pitieth
not,
For every one `
is '
profane,
and an evil
doer
, And every mouth is
speaking
folly. With
all this not
turned
back
hath
His anger, And
still
His hand is stretched out.
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
.
For burned
as a
fire hath
wickedness,
Brier
and
thorn
it devoureth
, And it
kindleth
in thickets of the forest, And they lift
themselves
up ,
an
exaltation
of smoke !
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 .
In
the wrath of Jehovah
of Hosts Hath
the land been
consumed
, And the people is
as fuel of fire ;
A
man on
his brother hath
no
pity,
Through
the wrath of the
LORD
of hosts is
the land darkened
, and the people shall
be
as the
fuel of the
fire :
no
man shall
spare
his brother .
And cutteth
down
on the right, and hath
been
hungry ,
And he devoureth
on the left, And they have
not been
satisfied ,
Each
the flesh of his own arm they
devour.
And he
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 :
Manasseh --
Ephraim
, and Ephraim --
Manasseh
, Together
they `are'
against Judah ,
With
all this not
turned
back
hath
His anger .
And
still
His hand is stretched out !
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.
