Isaiah 9:13-17
Amplified Bible
Isaiah 9:13-17
Amplified Bible
13
Yet the people do not turn back [in repentance] to Him who struck them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts [as their most essential need].
14
Therefore the Lord cuts off head and tail [the highest and the lowest] from Israel,
Both [the high] palm branch and [the low] bulrush in one day.
15
The elderly and honorable man, he is the head;
And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16
For those who lead this people are causing them to go astray;
And those who are led [astray] by them are swallowed up.
17
Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men,
Nor does He have compassion on their fatherless or their widows;
For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,
And every mouth is speaking foolishness.
In spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn away
But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].
Isaiah 9:13-17
New International Version
Isaiah 9:13-17
New International Version
13 But the people have not returned(A) to him who struck(B) them,
nor have they sought(C) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed(D) in a single day;(E)
15 the elders(F) and dignitaries(G) are the head,
the prophets(H) who teach lies(I) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(J) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(K)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(L)
nor will he pity(M) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(N) and wicked,(O)
every mouth speaks folly.(P)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(Q)
