Isaiah 9

² The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.

³ You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.

⁴ For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.
