Isaiah 9:2-4

Amplified Bible

² 
The people who walk in [spiritual] darkness
^[a]Will see a great Light;
Those who live in the dark land,
The Light will shine on them.^(A)
3 
You [O God] will increase the nation,
You will multiply their joy;
They will rejoice before You
Like the joy and jubilation of the harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil [of victory].
⁴ 
For You will break the yoke of Israel’s burden and the staff (goad) on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor, as at the ^[b]battle of Midian.^(B)
