Isaiah 9:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
In context
1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those in distress. In the past He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future He will honor the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.
