Isaiah 9 MTB1537 Bible

Select Translation

1 Even like as in time past it hath been well seen, that the land of Zabulon and the land of Nephtali (where thorow the sea way goeth over Jordan in to the land of Galilee) was at the first in little trouble, but afterward sore vexed.
2 Nevertheless the people that have dwelt in darkness, shall see a great light. As for them that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them shall the light shine.
3 Shalt thou multiply the people, and not increase the joy also? They shall rejoice before thee even as men make merry in harvest, and as men that have gotten the victory, when they deal the spoil.
4 For thou shalt break the yoke of the people's burthen: the staff of his shoulder and the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of |at| Madian.
5 Moreover all temerarious and seditious power (yea where there is but a coat filled with blood) shall be burnt, and fed the fire.
6 For unto us a child shall be born, and unto us a son shall be given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name: the wonderous giver of counsel, the mighty God, the everlasting father, the Prince of peace, (Septuagint: Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty One, Potentate, Prince of Peace, Father of the age to come;)
7 he shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same, to stablish it with equity and righteousness, from thence forth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.
8 The Lord sent a word in to Jacob, the same is come in to Israel.
9 And the people also of Ephraim, and they that dwell in Samaria, can say with pride and high stomachs, on this manner:
10 The tile work is fallen down, but we will build it with harder stones. The Mulberry timber is broken, but we shall set it up again with Cedar.
11 Nevertheless, the LORD shall prepare Razin the enemy against them, and so order their adversaries,
12 that the Sirians shall lay hold upon them before, and the Philistines behind, and so devour Israel with open mouth. After all this, the wrath of the Lord shall not cease, but yet his hand shall be stretched out still.
13 For the people turneth not unto him, that chastiseth them, neither do they seek the LORD of Hosts.
14 Therefore the LORD shall root out of Israel both head and tail, branch and twig in one day.
15 By the head, is understand |understonde| the Senator and honorable man, and by the tail, the Prophet that preacheth lies.
16 For all they which enforme the people that they be in a right cause, such be deceivers. Such as men think also to be perfect among these, are but cast away.
17 Therefore shall the Lord |LORDE| have no pleasure in their young men, neither favour their fatherless and widows. For they are all together hypocrites and wicked, and all their mouths speak folly. After all this shall not the Lord's |LORDEs| wrath cease, but yet his hand shall be stretched out still.
18 For the ungodly burn, as a fire in the briers and thorns: And as it were out of a fire in a wood or a red |read| bush, so ascendeth the smoke of their pride.
19 For this cause shall the wrath of the LORD of Hosts fall upon the land, and the people shall be consumed, as it were with fire, no man shall spare his brother.
20 If a man do turn him to the right hand, he shall famish, or to the left hand to eat, he shall not have enough. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasses shall eat Ephraim and Ephraim Manasses, and they both shall eat Juda. After all this shall not the Lord's |LORDES| wrath cease, but yet shall his hand be stretched out still.

About Isaiah 9

Out of the gloom over Galilee of the Gentiles breaks a great light: unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His names — Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace — and the promise of an endless reign on David's throne stand against the chapter's refrain of judgment on the unrepentant.

“"Unto us a child is born, and unto us a young man is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders;" which is significant of the power of the cross, for to it, when He was crucified, He applied His shoulders, as shall be more clearly made out in the ensuing discourse.”

What the Early Church wrote about Isaiah 9 (4)

  • “Lo, to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given, on whose own shoulder the government shall be; and His name has been called the Angel of great Counsel. Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

  • “Likewise Isaiah also says, “For unto us a child is born.” But what is there unusual in this, unless he speaks of the Son of God? “To us is given he whose government is upon his shoulder.””

  • “Because he is of God, he is rightly called God, since he is the Son of God; and because he is subject to the Father and herald of the Father’s will, he is proclaimed “Angel of Great Counsel.” … The title [angel] does, however, suit the person of Christ, since he is not only Go...”

  • “An example of the spiritual meaning occurs in the statement “The people who sat in darkness … and in the shadow of death, light has dawned on them.””
