And they have ·shown their happiness to [L rejoiced before] you,
like the joy during harvest time,

Isaiah 9:3-5
New International Version
3 You have enlarged the nation(A)
and increased their joy;(B)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(C)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(D)
you have shattered(E)
the yoke(F) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(G)
the rod of their oppressor.(H)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(I)
will be fuel for the fire.
