57 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to hear from the dead?
58 To the law and to the testimony: and if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
59 And they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
60 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble, and darkness, dimness of anguish, and shall be driven to darkness.
61 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nations.
62 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
63 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
64 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor.
65 For every battle of the warrior with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
66 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
67 Of the increase of government and peace there is no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
