Ézsaiás 9

1The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. 2The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Instead of the shadow of death , some versions have darkness . 3You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. 4For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder, 5For every boot treading in the tumult 6For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; 7Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, 8The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel. 9All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart, 10“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.” 11Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies, 12the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. 13Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts. 14Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day. 15The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail. 16Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up. 17Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, 18Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; 19Through the fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. 20They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Instead of the flesh of his own arm , some versions have the flesh of his own children .
