  1. Those who walked in the dark    have seen a bright light.And it shines upon everyonewho lives in the land    of darkest shadows.3 Our Lord, you have made    your nation stronger.[a]Because of you, its people    are glad and celebratelike workers at harvest timeor like soldiers dividing up    what they have taken. 4 You have broken the powerof those who abused    and enslaved your people.You have rescued themjust as you saved your people    from Midian. Isaiah 9:2-7 cev 5 The boots of marching warriorsand the blood-stained uniforms    have been fed to flames    and eaten by fire.

  2. 6 A child has been born for us.We have been given a son    who will be our ruler.His names will beWonderful Advisor    and Mighty God,Eternal Father    and Prince of Peace.7 His power will never end;    peace will last forever.He will rule David’s kingdom    and make it grow strong.He will always rule    with honesty and justice.The Lord All-Powerfulwill make certain    that all of this is done. Isaiah 9:2-7 cev

  3. Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot—    yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,the Spirit of counsel and might,    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.3 He will delight in obeying the Lord.    He will not judge by appearance    nor make a decision based on hearsay.4 He will give justice to the poor    and make fair decisions for the exploited.The earth will shake at the force of his word,    and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.5 He will wear righteousness like a belt    and truth like an undergarment. Isaiah 11:1-10nlt

  4. 6 In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;    the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,    and a little child will lead them all.7 The cow will graze near the bear.    The cub and the calf will lie down together.    The lion will eat hay like a cow.8 The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.    Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.9 Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,    for as the waters fill the sea,    so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord. 10 In that day the heir to David’s throne[]    will be a banner of salvation to all the world.The nations will rally to him,    and the land where he lives will be a glorious place. Isaiah 11:1-10nlt

  5. Who has believed our message?    To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?2 My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot,    like a root in dry ground.There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance,    nothing to attract us to him.3 He was despised and rejected—    a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.    He was despised, and we did not care. Isaiah 53 nlt

  6. 4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;    it was our sorrowsthat weighed him down.And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,    a punishment for his own sins!5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,    crushed for our sins.He was beaten so we could be whole.    He was whipped so we could be healed.6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.Yet the Lord laid on him    the sins of us all. Isaiah 53 nlt

  7. 7 He was oppressed and treated harshly,    yet he never said a word.He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.    And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,    he did not open his mouth.8 Unjustly condemned,    he was led away.No one cared that he died without descendants,    that his life was cut short in midstream.But he was struck down    for the rebellion of my people.9 He had done no wrong    and had never deceived anyone.But he was buried like a criminal;    he was put in a rich man’s grave. Isaiah 53 nlt

  8. 10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him    and cause him grief.Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,    he will have many descendants.He will enjoy a long life,    and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,    he will be satisfied.And because of his experience,    my righteous servant will make it possiblefor many to be counted righteous,    for he will bear all their sins.12 I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,    because he exposed himself to death.He was counted among the rebels.    He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels. Isaiah 53 nlt
