and he that is in anguish shall not be distressed only for a time. Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zebulun{gr.Zabulon}, land of Naphtali{gr.Nephthalim}, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. |
|
9:1 ¶
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.° |

The multitude of the people which thou hast brought down in thy joy, they shall even rejoice before thee as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil. |
|
9:3
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.° |
|

Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Midian{gr.Madiam}. |

the yoke°
of his burden,°

as in the day°
of Midian.° |
|
9:5
For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire. |

every°
battle°
of the warrior°°
[is] with confused noise,°
and garments°
rolled°°
in blood;°
but [this] shall be°
with burning°
[and] fuel°
of fire.° |

unto us a child°

called°°
Wonderful,°
Counsellor,°°
The mighty°
El,°
The everlasting°
Father,°
The Prince°
of Peace.° |
|

|
9:7
Of the increase°
of [his] government°
and peace°
[there shall be] no°
end,°
upon°
the throne°
of David,°
and upon°
his kingdom,°
to order°°
it, and to establish°°
it with judgment°
and with justice°
from henceforth°°
even for°
ever.°°
The zeal°
of Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
will perform°°
this.° |

him, and join°°
his enemies°°
together;°°°° |
|
9:12
[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted. |

9:12
The Syrians°
before,°°

in one°
day.° |
|
9:15
the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail. |
|
9:15
The ancient°

he°
[is] the head;°
and the prophet°
that teacheth°°
lies,°
he°
[is] the tail.° |
|
9:16

|
9:17
Therefore°°
Yahweh°
shall have no°
joy°°
in°
their young men,°
neither°
shall have mercy°°
on their fatherless°

for°
every one°
[is] an hypocrite°

mouth°
speaketh°°
folly.°
For all°
this°
his anger°
is not°
turned away,°°
but his hand°
[is] stretched out°
still.°°° |

as the fire:°
it shall devour°°
the briers°

and shall kindle°°
in the thickets°
of the forest,°
and they shall mount up°°
[like] the lifting up°
of smoke.° |

of Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
is the land°

and the people°
shall be°
as the fuel°
of the fire:°
no°
man°

his brother.° |

on°
the right hand,°
and be hungry;°°

|
9:21
Manasseh,°°
Ephraim;°
and Ephraim,°°
Manasseh:°
[and] they°
together°
[shall be] against°
Judah.°
For all°
this°
his anger°
is not°
turned away,°°
