Nacimiento y reinado del Príncipe de Paz

1Pero no habrá más lobreguez para la que estaba en angustiaa. Como en tiempos pasados Él trató con desprecio a la tierra de Zabulón y a la tierra de Neftalíb, pero después la hará gloriosa por el camino del mar al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de los gentiles2c.

2 1El pueblo que andaba en tinieblasha visto gran luz;a los que habitaban en tierra de sombra de muerte,la luz ha resplandecido sobre ellosa.3 Multiplicaste la nacióna,aumentaste1 su2 alegríab;se alegran en tu presenciacomo con la alegría de3 la cosecha,como se regocijan los hombres cuando se reparten el botínc.4 Porque tú quebrarás el yugo de su carga, el báculo de sus hombrosa,y la vara de su opresorb, como en la batalla1 de Madiánc.5 Porque toda bota que calza el guerrero en el fragor de la batalla,y el manto revolcado en sangre, serán para quemar, combustible para el fuego.6 Porque un niño nos ha nacidoa, un hijo nos ha sido dadob,y la soberanía1c reposará2 sobre sus hombrosd;y se llamará su nombre Admirable Consejeroe, Dios Poderosof,Padre Eternog, Príncipe de Pazh.7 El aumento de su soberanía1 y de la paz no tendrán finasobre el trono de David y sobre su reinob,para afianzarlo y sostenerlo con el derecho y la justiciacdesde entonces y para siempre.El celo del SEÑOR de los ejércitos hará estod.
Ira de Dios contra Israel
8 El Señor envía mensaje1 contra Jacob,y cae sobre Israel.9 Y todo el pueblo lo sabe,es decir, Efraín y los habitantes de Samariaa,los que con arrogancia y altivez de corazónb afirman1:10 Los ladrillos han caído,pero con piedras labradas reedificaremosa;los sicómoros han sido cortados,pero con cedros los reemplazaremos.11 Por tanto el SEÑOR levanta adversarios de Rezína contra ellos,e incita a sus enemigos,12 los arameos en el oriente y los filisteos en el occidentea,que devoran a Israelb a boca llena1.Con todo eso no se aparta su ira,y aún está su mano extendidac.
13 Pero el pueblo no ha vuelto a Aquel que los hirióa,no han buscado al SEÑOR de los ejércitosb.14 El SEÑOR, pues, corta de Israel la cabeza y la cola,la hoja de palmera y el juncoa en un mismo díab.15 El anciano y venerable es la cabezaa,y el profeta que enseña la mentira, es la colab.16 Porque los que guían a este pueblo lo extravían;y los guiados por ellos son confundidos1a.17 Por eso no se complace el Señor en sus jóvenesa,ni se compadeceb de sus huérfanos ni de sus viudas;porque todos ellos son impíos y malhechoresc,y toda boca habla necedadesd.Con todo eso no se aparta su ira,y aún está su mano extendidae.
18 Porque arde como fuego la impiedad,zarzas y espinos consume,y enciende la espesura del bosque;como remolino suben en columna de humoa.19 Por el furor del SEÑOR de los ejércitosa es quemada la tierrab,y el pueblo es como combustible para el fuegoc;el hombre no perdona a su hermanod.20 Cortan1 de un tajo lo que está a la derecha, pero aún tienen hambrea,y comen2 lo que está a la izquierda, pero no se sacian;cada cual come la carne de su propio brazo3b.21 Manasés devora a Efraín, y Efraín a Manasés,y ambos están contra Judáa.Con todo eso no se ha apartado su ira,y aún está su mano extendidab.
Birth and Reign of the Prince of Peace

But there will be no more agloom for her who was in anguish for with judgment comes the promise of salvation. In earlier times He btreated the cland of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He will make them honored by the presence of the Messiah, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

2 aThe people who walk in spiritual darkness1Will see a great Light;Those who live in the dark land,The Light will shine on them. Is 42:6; Matt 4:15, 163 aYou O God will increase the nation,You will bmultiply their joy;They will rejoice before YouLike the joy and jubilation of the harvest,As cmen rejoice when they divide the spoil of victory.4 For aYou will break the yoke of Israel’s burden and the staff (goad) on their shoulders,The rod of their boppressor, as at the 1battle of cMidian. Judg 7:8-225 For every boot of the marching warrior in the battle tumult,And every soldier’s garment rolled in blood, will be used for burning, fuel for the fire.6 For to us a aChild shall be born, to us a bSon shall be given;And the cgovernment shall be dupon His shoulder,And His name shall be called eWonderful Counselor, fMighty God,Everlasting gFather, Prince of hPeace. Is 25:1; 40:9-11; Matt 28:18; Luke 2:117 There shall be ano end to the increase of His government and of peace,He shall rule on the bthrone of David and over his kingdom,To establish it and to uphold it with cjustice and righteousnessFrom that time forward and forevermore.dThe zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. Dan 2:44; 1+@Cor 15:25-28; Heb 1:8
God’s Anger with Israel’s Arrogance
8 The Lord sends a word (message) against Jacob,And it falls on Israel the ten northern tribes, the kingdom of Ephraim.9 And all the people know it,That is, 1aEphraim and the inhabitants of Samaria its capital,Who say in pride and barrogance of heart:10 “The bricks have fallen down,But we will arebuild all the better with ashlar (hewed stones) ;The sycamores have been cut down,But we will replace them with expensive cedars.”11 Therefore the LORD raises against Ephraim adversaries from aRezin king of AramAnd spurs their enemies on,12 The Arameans on the east and the aPhilistines on the west;And they bdevour Israel with gaping jaws.cIn spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn awayBut His hand is still stretched out in judgment.
13 Yet the people ado not turn back in repentance to Him who struck them,Nor do they bseek the LORD of hosts as their most essential need.14 Therefore the LORD cuts off ahead and tail the highest and the lowest from Israel,Both the high palm branch and the low bulrush bin one day.15 aThe elderly and honorable man, he is the head;And the prophet who teaches blies, he is the tail.16 aFor those who lead this people are causing them to go astray;And those who are led astray by them are swallowed up.17 Therefore the Lord does anot rejoice over their young men,bNor does He have compassion on their fatherless or their widows;For every one of them is cgodless and an devildoer,And every emouth is speaking foolishness.fIn spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn awayBut His hand is still stretched out in judgment.
18 aFor wickedness burns like a fire;It consumes briars and thorns,It even sets the forest thickets ablaze;And it swirls upward in a column of smoke.19 By the awrath of the LORD of hosts the bland is burned up,And the cpeople are like fuel for the fire;No dman spares his brother.20 They slice off in discord what is on the right hand but are still ahungry,And they eat what is on the left hand but they are not satisfied;Each eats the bflesh of his own arm.21 The tribe of Manasseh devours the tribe of his brother Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,aAnd together they are against Judah (the southern kingdom, the house of David) .bIn spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn awayBut His hand is still stretched out in judgment.
