But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. Mat 4:15-162Ki 15:29Isa 8:221Ch 5:262Ch 16:42Ki 17:5-61Ki 15:19-20Lev 26:24
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Mat 4:16Eph 5:8Jhn 8:12Jhn 12:46Luk 1:78-791Pe 2:91Jn 1:5-7Isa 60:1-3
The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
You have multiplied the nation. Isa 26:15Isa 35:10Isa 65:18Isa 66:10Psa 119:1621Pe 1:8Isa 61:7Jer 31:12-14
You have increased their joy.
They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder. For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian. Isa 14:25Jer 30:8Isa 10:26-27Nam 1:13Isa 54:14Isa 49:26Isa 14:3-5Gen 27:40 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire. 2Th 1:8Ezk 39:8-10Isa 30:33Psa 46:9Isa 10:16-17Isa 4:4Isa 66:15-16Jol 2:5 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Luk 2:11Mat 28:18Jer 23:5-6Isa 7:14Mat 1:231Jn 5:20Rev 19:16Jhn 1:1-2 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this. Luk 1:32-33Dan 2:44Dan 7:142Sa 7:16Psa 45:4-6Dan 7:27Dan 2:351Co 15:24-28
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, Isa 7:7-8Isa 8:4-8Mic 1:1-9Zec 1:6Zec 5:1-4Mat 24:35
and it falls on Israel.
All the people will know, Isa 46:121Ki 22:251Pe 5:5Ezk 30:19Ezk 33:33Ezk 7:27Ezk 7:9Isa 10:9-11
including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
“The bricks have fallen, Mal 1:41Ki 10:271Ki 7:9-12
but we will build with cut stone.
The sycamore fig trees have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”
Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, 2Ki 15:292Ki 16:9Isa 10:9-11Isa 17:1-5Isa 7:8Isa 8:4-7
and will stir up his enemies,
The Syrians in front, 2Ch 28:18Isa 5:252Ki 16:6Psa 79:7Isa 10:4Isa 9:17Isa 9:21Jer 10:25
and the Philistines behind;
and they will devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this, his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, Hos 7:10Jer 5:3Isa 31:1Isa 1:52Ch 28:22Deu 4:29Ezk 24:13Hos 3:4-5
neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, Isa 19:15Rev 18:82Ki 17:6-20Amo 2:14-16Amo 3:12Amo 5:2-3Amo 6:11Amo 7:17
palm branch and reed, in one day.
The elder and the honorable man is the head, Isa 29:10Mat 24:241Sa 9:62Ti 4:2-3Ezk 13:19Isa 3:2-3Jer 29:21-221Jn 4:1
and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
For those who lead this people lead them astray; Isa 3:12Mat 15:14Mat 23:16-361Ki 8:55-562Ch 30:27Heb 7:7Num 6:23-26
and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, Isa 10:6Isa 5:25Jer 18:21Isa 27:11Isa 9:12Mat 12:34Isa 10:4Isa 9:21
neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is profane and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
For wickedness burns like a fire. Mal 4:1Psa 83:14Isa 34:8-10Isa 5:24Nam 1:10Amo 7:4Deu 32:22Ezk 20:47-48
It devours the briers and thorns;
yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; Mic 7:2Mic 7:62Pe 2:4Act 2:20Amo 5:18Ezk 9:5Isa 1:31Isa 13:13
and the people are the fuel for the fire.
No one spares his brother.
One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; Isa 49:26Jer 19:9Isa 8:21Lam 4:10Lev 26:26-29
and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied.
Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. Isa 5:252Ch 28:6-8Gal 5:15Isa 9:121Sa 14:202Ki 15:30Isa 10:4Isa 11:13
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
