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.

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.

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.
68 The Lord sent his word unto Jacob and it hath lighted upon Israel.
69 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
70 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
