  afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of
  Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously
  afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
  in Galilee of the nations. (2) The people that
  walked in darkness have seen a great light they
  that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
  upon them hath the light shined Isaiah
