Isaiah 9:3

New Light: The Birth Of A King

² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness. ³ You have made the nation numerous; you have not made the joy great. They rejoice in your presence as [with] joy at the harvest, as they rejoice when they divide plunder. ⁴ For you have shattered the yoke of its burden and the stick of its shoulder, the rod of its oppressor, on the day of Midian.
