¹¹But there will be no more ^agloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He ^btreated the ^cland of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the ²Gentiles.

²¹^aThe people who walk in darkness

Will see a great light;

Those who live in the land of the shadow of death,

The light will shine on them.

³^aYou shall multiply the nation,

You ^bshall ¹make great ²their gladness;

They will be glad in Your presence

As with the gladness ³of harvest,

As ⁴^cmen rejoice when they divide the spoil.

Read in Logos

Isaiah 9:2: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.
