Isaiah 9:3

New Light: The Birth Of A King

² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; for those living in a land of deep darkness, a light has shined upon them. ³ You have increased the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice in your presence as they rejoice at the harvest, as they are glad when they're dividing the spoils of war. ⁴ Now as to the yoke that has been his burden, and the bar laid on his shoulder the rod of his oppressor you have broken it as on the day of Midian.
