Isaiah 9:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ The leaders of this people lead them astray.
Those they mislead are swallowed up.
¹⁶ Therefore Adonai will have no joy in their young men,
nor will He have compassion on their orphans and widows,
for everyone is ungodly and an evildoer,
    and every mouth speaks foolishness.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
    yet His hand is still outstretched.
¹⁷ For wickedness burns like a fire
    and consumes the briers and thorns
It kindles the thickets of the forest,
    so they roll up in a column of smoke.
