Isaiah 9:2-4

Names of God Bible

A Child Will Be Born as the Prince of Peace

²The people who walk in darkness will see a bright light.
The light will shine on those who live in the land of death’s shadow.

³You will expand the nation and increase its happiness.
    It will be happy in your presence
        like those who celebrate the harvest
            or rejoice when dividing loot.
⁴You will break the yoke^[a] that burdens them,
    the bar that is across their shoulders,
        and the stick used by their oppressor,
            as you did in the battle against Midian.
