9:1

Module 1: The Judicial Indictment and the Messianic Blueprint

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 her by the way of the sea, beyond Yarden, in Galil of the nations.
9:2
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.
9:3
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
9:4
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midyan.
9:5
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
9:6

The Birth of the King and the Five-Fold Name

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, Counsellor, The mighty El (El Gibbor), The everlasting Father (Ab-Ad), The Prince of Peace (Sar-Shalom).
9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of Dawid, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts will perform this.
9:8

The Sentence on the Pride of Shomron

Adonai sent a word into Ya'aqob, and it hath lighted upon Yashar'el.
9:9
And all the people shall know, even Ephrayim and the inhabitant of Shomron, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
9:10
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
9:11
Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall set up the adversaries of Retziyn against him, and join his enemies together;
9:12
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Yashar'el with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
9:13

The Corruption of Leadership and the Tail Protocol

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts.
9:14
Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will cut off from Yashar'el head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
9:15
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
9:16
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
9:17
Therefore Adonai shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
9:18

The Burning of Wickedness and Internal Devouring

For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
9:19
Through the wrath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
9:20
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
9:21
Manashah, Ephrayim; and Ephrayim, Manashah: and they together shall be against Yahudah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
