Isaiah 9:12-14
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 9:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 Arameans from the east
have opened their mouths and swallowed up Israel.
So have Philistines from the west.
Even then, the Lord is still angry.
His hand is still raised against them.
13 But his people have not returned
to the God who struck them down.
They haven’t turned for help
to the Lord who rules over all.
14 So he will cut off from Israel heads and tails alike.
In a single day he will cut off palm branches and tall grass alike.
The palm branches are the people who rule over others.
The tall grass is the people who bow down to them.
