Isaiah 9:13-17
English Standard Version
Isaiah 9:13-17
English Standard Version
13 The people (A)did not turn to him who struck them,
nor inquire of the Lord of hosts.
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (B)head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (C)the elder and honored man is the head,
and (D)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 (E)rejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is (F)godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks (G)folly.[a]
(H)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.

New American Standard Bible
13 Yet the people (A)do not turn back to Him who struck them,
Nor do they (B)seek the Lord of armies.
14 So the Lord cuts off (C)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush (D)in a single day.
15 The head is (E)the elder and esteemed man,
And the prophet who teaches (F)falsehood is the tail.
16 (G)For those who guide this people are leading them astray;
And those who are guided by them are [a]confused.
17 Therefore the Lord does (H)not rejoice over their young men,
(I)Nor does He have compassion on their [b]orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is (J)godless and an (K)evildoer,
And every (L)mouth is speaking foolishness.
(M)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.

his hand is still upraised.(Q)
