Isaiah 9:14-17

14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (A)head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (B)the elder and honored man is the head,
and (C)the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore the Lord does not (D)rejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is (E)godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks (F)folly.[a]
(G)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.

his hand is still upraised.(N)
