Isaiah 9:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 Now those people live in darkness.
But they will see a great light.
They live in a place that is very dark.
But a light will shine on them.
3 God, you will cause the nation to grow.
You will make the people happy.
And they will show their happiness to you.
It will be like the joy during harvest time.
It will be like the joy of people
taking what they have won in war.
4 Like the time you defeated Midian,
you will take away their heavy load.
You will take away the heavy pole from their backs.
You will take away the rod the enemy uses to punish your people.

Isaiah 9:2-4
New International Version
2 The people walking in darkness(A)
have seen a great light;(B)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(C)
a light has dawned.(D)
3 You have enlarged the nation(E)
and increased their joy;(F)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(G)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(H)
you have shattered(I)
the yoke(J) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(K)
the rod of their oppressor.(L)
