1 Ali neće se onako zamračiti pritešnjena zemlja kao pre kad se dotače zemlje Zavulonove i zemlje Neftalimove, ili kao posle kad dosađivaše na putu k moru s one strane Jordana Galileji neznabožačkoj. 2 Narod koji hodi u tami videće videlo veliko, i onima koji sede u zemlji gde je smrtni sen zasvetliće videlo. 3 Umnožio si narod, a nisi mu uveličao radosti; ali će se radovati pred Tobom kao što se raduju o žetvi, kao što se vesele kad dele plen. 4 Jer si slomio jaram u kome vucijaše, i štap kojim ga bijahu po plećima i palicu nasilnika njegovog kao u dan madijanski. 5 Jer će obuća svakog ratnika koji se bije u graji i odelo u krv uvaljano izgoreti i biti hrana ognju. 6 Jer nam se rodi Dete, Sin nam se dade, kome je vlast na ramenu, i ime će Mu biti: Divni, Savetnik, Bog silni, Otac večni, Knez mirni. 7 Bez kraja će rasti vlast i mir na prestolu Davidovom i u carstvu njegovom da se uredi i utvrdi sudom i pravdom od sada doveka. To će učiniti revnost Gospoda nad vojskama. 8 Gospod posla reč Jakovu, i ona pade u Izrailju. 9 I znaće sav narod, Jefrem i stanovnici samarijski, koji oholo i ponositog srca govore: 10 Padoše opeke, ali ćemo mi zidati od tesanog kamena; dudovi su posečeni, ali ćemo ih zameniti kedrima. 11 Ali će Gospod podignuti protivnike Resinove na nj, i skupiće neprijatelje njegove, 12 Sirce s istoka i Filisteje sa zapada, te će ždreti Izrailja na sva usta. Kod svega toga neće se odvratiti gnev Njegov, nego će ruka Njegova još biti podignuta. 13 Jer se narod neće obratiti k onome ko ga bije, i neće tražiti Gospoda nad vojskama. 14 Zato će odseći Gospod Izrailju glavu i rep, granu i situ u jedan dan. 15 Starešina i ugledan čovek to je glava, a prorok koji uči laž to je rep. 16 Jer koji vode taj narod, oni ga zavode, a koje vode, oni su propali. 17 Zato se Gospod neće radovati mladićima njegovim, i na sirote njegove i na udovice njegove neće se smilovati, jer su svikoliki licemeri i zlikovci, i svaka usta govore nevaljalstvo. Kod svega toga neće se odvratiti gnev Njegov, nego će ruka Njegova još biti podignuta. 18 Jer će se razgoreti bezbožnost kao oganj, koji sažeže čkalj i trnje, pa upali gustu šumu, te otide u dim visoko. 19 Od gneva Gospoda nad vojskama zamračiće se zemlja i narod će biti kao hrana ognju, niko neće požaliti brata svog. 20 I zgrabiće s desne strane, pa će opet biti gladan, i ješće s leve strane, pa se opet neće nasititi; svaki će jesti meso od mišice svoje, 21 Manasija Jefrema, i Jefrem Manasiju, a obojica će se složiti na Judu. Kod svega toga neće se odvratiti gnev Njegov, nego će ruka Njegova još biti podignuta.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There are the following predictions: --"Unto us a child is born, and unto us a young man is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders;" which is significant of the power of the cross, for to it, when He was crucified, He applied His shoulders, as shall be more clearly made out in the ensuing discourse.
… the foal of an ass; that He received for drink, vinegar and gall; that He was despised among the people, and humbled Himself even to death and that He is the holy Lord, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Beautiful in appearance, and the Mighty God, coming on the clouds as the Judge of all men; --all these things did the …
The Lord saw him, he concerning whom it was said, "They that sat under the shadow of death, unto them hath light arisen." What then was said to Nathanael?

… nation by a part of it, nor signifies obscurely all the tribes; mark how the Prophet distinguishes that place, saying "The land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people which sat in darkness, saw great light:" by darkness here not meaning that which is sensible, but men's errors and ungodliness.

The soul when it was deified descended into Hades, in order that, just as the Sun of Righteousness rose for those upon the earth, so likewise He might bring light to those who sit under the earth in darkness and shadow of death: in order that just as He brought the message of peace to those upon the earth, …
