9 Nevertheless ^(B)the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at ^(C)first He lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
And ^(D)afterward more heavily oppressed her,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
In Galilee of the Gentiles.

^2 (A)The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
