1 Nevertheless the obscurity is not such as in her narrowness, as at the first time when he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; and afterward honored her by the way of the sea beyond Yarden in Galiyl of the goyim.

A PROMISE OF LIGHT
The people, walking in darkness, see a great light: settlers in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light illuminates. 3 You greaten the goyim; you greaten their cheerfulness: they cheer at your face as the cheerfulness in harvest; and twirl when they allot the spoil. 4 For you broke the yoke of his burden and the rod of his shoulder - the scion of his exactor as in the day of Midyan. 5 For every boot of the booted quakes, and garments roll in blood; but this becomes a burning - a fuel of fire. 6
A CHILD IS BORN, A SON IS GIVEN
For a child is birthed to us; a son is given to us - and the dominion is on his shoulder: and he calls his name \super * Marvelous, Counsellor, Mighty El, Eternal Father, Governor of Shalom. *singular 7 Of the increase of his dominion and shalom there is no end, on the throne of David and on his sovereigndom; to establish and to support with judgment and with justness from henceforth - even eternally. The zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this. 8
THE WRATH OF YAH VEH
Adonay sent a word to Yaaqov and it fell upon Yisra El: 9 and all the people knew - Ephrayim and the settler of Shomeron, saying, in the pomp and greatness of heart, 10 The bricks fall, and we build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, and we change them into cedars: 11 and Yah Veh lofts the tribulators of Resin against him and covers his enemies 12 - the Aramiym in front and the Peleshethiym behind; and they devour Yisra El with open mouth. For all this, he turns not his wrath and still spreads his hand: 13 and the people neither turn to him who smites them, nor seek they Yah Veh Sabaoth: 14 and Yah Veh cuts off from Yisra El head and tail, palm leaf and rush, in one day. 15 The elder and lifted face, he is the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, he is the tail. 16 For this people who blithe them cause them to stray; and the blithed are swallowed. 17 So Adonay neither cheers in their youths, nor mercies their orphans and widows: for every one is a profaner and a vilifier and every mouth words folly. For all this he turns not away his wrath and still spreads his hand. 18 For wickedness burns as the fire consuming the briers and thorns; kindling in the thickets of the forest; spiraling upward as the rising of smoke. 19 Through the wrath of Yah Veh Sabaoth the land burns, and the people are as the fuel of the fire: no man spares his brother. 20 And on the right, he cuts and famishes; and on the left, he eats and satiates not: every man eats the flesh of his own arm 21 - Menash Sheh, Ephrayim; and Ephrayim, Menash Sheh: and together they are against Yah Hudah. For all this he turns not away his wrath, and still spreads his hand.
