English Standard Version

There will be no gloom for her who was in anguish.

Isaiah 9:1

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair.

2 Corinthians 4:8

Isaiah 9 (English Standard Version)

1 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as they are glad when they divide the spoil.
4 For the yoke of his burden,
and the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian.

2 Corinthians 4 (English Standard Version)

5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

There will be no more darkness for those who suffered.

Isaiah 9:1

We are attacked from every direction, but we are not crushed. We are at a loss as to what to do, but never in despair.

2 Corinthians 4:8

Isaiah 9 (Free Bible Version)

1 Even so, there will be no more darkness for those who suffered. In the past he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will bring honor to Galilee of the foreigners that is on the route that leads from Jordan to the sea.
2 People walking in the dark will see a bright light; a light will shine on those living in a land of total darkness.
3 You will make the nation grow enormously, and will make it extremely happy. The people will celebrate before you as people celebrate at harvest time, as soldiers celebrate when dividing up what has been looted.
4 For you will smash the yoke that burdens them down, the bar across their shoulders, and the oppressors' rod used to beat them just as you did when you defeated the Midianite army.

2 Corinthians 4 (Free Bible Version)

5 We are not promoting ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord. In fact we are your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God who said, “Let light shine out of the darkness,” shone in our minds to illuminate the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, to show that this supreme power comes from God and not from ourselves.
8 We are attacked from every direction, but we are not crushed. We are at a loss as to what to do, but never in despair.
9 We are persecuted, but never abandoned by God. We are knocked down, but not dead yet!
