NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 9

Birth and Reign of the Prince of Peace

1

 1But there will be noh3808 more  agloomh4155 for her whoh834 was in anguishh4164; in earlierh7223 timesh6256 He  btreatedh7043 the  clandh776 of Zebulunh2074 and the landh776 of Naphtalih5321 with contempth7043, but laterh314 on He shall makeh3513 it glorioush3513, by the wayh1870 of the seah3220, on the otherh5676 sideh5676 of Jordanh3383, Galileeh1551 of the  2Gentilesh1471.

2

 1 aThe peopleh5971a who walkh1980 in darknessh2822 Will seeh7200 a greath1419 lighth216; Those who liveh3427 in a darkh6757 landh776, The lighth216 will shineh5050 on them.

3

 aYou shall multiplyh7235a the nationh1471, You  bshall  1increaseh1431  2their gladnessh8057; They will be gladh8055 in Your presenceh6440 As with the gladnessh8057  3of harvesth7105a, As  4 cmen rejoiceh1523 when they divideh2505a the spoilh7998.

4

For  aYou shall breakh2865 the yokeh5923 of their burdenh5448 and the staffh4294 on their shouldersh7926, The rodh7626 of their  boppressorh5065, as  1at the battleh3117 of  cMidianh4080.

5

For everyh3605 booth5430 of the bootedh5431 warriorh5431 in the battle tumulth7494, And cloakh8071 rolledh1556 in bloodh1818, will be for burningh8316, fuelh3980 for the fireh784.

6

For a  achildh3206 will be bornh3205 to us, a  bsonh1121 will be givenh5414 to us; And the  cgovernmenth4951 will  1resth1961  don His shouldersh7926; And His nameh8034 will be calledh7121  eWonderfulh6382 Counselorh3289,  fMightyh1368 Godh410, Eternalh5703  gFatherh1, Princeh8269 of  hPeaceh7965.

7

Thereh369 will be  anoh369 endh7093 to the increaseh4766 of His governmenth4951 or of peaceh7965, On the  bthroneh3678 of Davidh1732 and overh5921 his kingdomh4467, To establishh3559 it and to upholdh5582 it with  cjusticeh4941 and righteousnessh6666 From thenh6258 on and forevermoreh5703h5769.  dThe zealh7068 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 will accomplishh6213a thish384.

God's Anger with Israel's Arrogance

8

The Lordh136 sendsh7971 a  1messageh1697 against Jacobh3290, And it fallsh5307 on Israelh3478.

9

And allh3605 the peopleh5971a knowh3045 it, That is,  aEphraimh669 and the inhabitantsh3427 of Samariah8111, Assertingh559 in prideh1346 and in  barroganceh1433 of hearth3824:

10

"The bricksh3843 have fallenh5307 downh5307, But we will  arebuildh1129 with smoothh1496 stonesh1496; The sycamoresh8256 have been cuth1438 downh1438, But we will replaceh2498 them with cedarsh730."

11

Therefore the LORDh3068 raisesh7682 againsth5921 them adversariesh6862c from  aRezinh7526 And spursh5526a their enemiesh340 on,

12

The Arameansh758 on the easth6924a and the  aPhilistinesh6430 on the westh268; And they  bdevourh398 Israelh3478 with  1gapingh3605 jawsh6310.  cIn spite of allh3605 thish384, His angerh639 does not turnh7725 awayh7725 And His handh3027 is stillh5750 stretchedh5186 out.

13

Yet the peopleh5971a  ado not turnh7725 backh7725 to Him who struckh5221 them, Norh3808 do they  bseekh1875 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

14

So the LORDh3068 cutsh3772 offh3772  aheadh7218 and tailh2180 from Israelh3478, Both palmh3712 branchh3712 and bulrushh100  bin a singleh259 dayh3117.

15

The headh7218 is  athe elderh2205 and honorableh6440h5375 man, And the propheth5030 who teachesh3384  bfalsehoodh8267 is the tailh2180.

16

 aFor those who guideh833 thish2088 peopleh5971a are leadingh8582 them astrayh8582; And those who are guidedh833 by them are  1broughth1104 to confusionh1104.

17

Thereforeh5921h3651 the Lordh136 does  anot takeh8055 pleasureh8055 in their youngh970 menh970,  bNorh3808 does He haveh7355 pityh7355 on their  1orphansh3490 or their widowsh490; For everyh3605 oneh3605 of them is  cgodlessh2611 and an  devildoerh7489a, And everyh3605  emouthh6310 is speakingh1696 foolishnessh5039.  fIn spite of allh3605 thish384, His angerh639 does not turnh7725 awayh7725 And His handh3027 is stillh5750 stretchedh5186 out.

18

 aFor wickednessh7564 burnsh1197a like a fireh784; It consumesh398 briarsh8068 and thornsh7898; It even setsh3341 the thicketsh5442 of the foresth3293a aflameh3341 And they rollh55 upwardh55 in a columnh1348 of smokeh6227.

19

By the  afuryh5678 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 the  blandh776 is burnedh6272 up, And the  cpeopleh5971a are like fuelh3980 for the fireh784; Noh3808  dmanh376 sparesh2550 his brotherh251.

20

 1They sliceh1504 offh1504 what is on the righth3225 handh3225 but still are  ahungryh7456, And  2they eath398 what is on the lefth8040 handh8040 but they are not satisfiedh7646; Eachh376 of them eatsh398 the  bfleshh1320 of his own armh2220.

21

Manassehh4519 devours Ephraimh669, and Ephraimh669 Manassehh4519,  aAnd togetherh3164a they are againsth5921 Judahh3063.  bIn spite of allh3605 thish384, His angerh639 does not turnh7725 awayh7725 And His handh3027 is stillh5750 stretchedh5186 out.
