Isaiah 9:1-2

GOD’S WORD Translation

9 ^[a]But there will be no more gloom
for the land that is in distress.
God humbled the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali in earlier times.
But in the future he will bring glory to the road by the sea,
to the land across the Jordan River,
to Galilee, where foreigners live.

² The 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.
