Isaiah 9:2

Amplified Bible

²
The people who walk in [spiritual] darkness
^[a]Will see a great Light;
Those who live in the dark land,
The Light will shine on them.^(A)

Isaiah 9:2 Or have seen, Hebrew perfect tense. The perfect tense is used frequently in this passage and should probably be interpreted as the prophetic future, that is, the use of the perfect (past) tense to describe a future event as a certainty.

Isaiah 9:2

on those living in the land of deep darkness^(C)
a light has dawned.^(D)
