Isaiah 9:13-17
World English Bible
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them,
neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.
14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head,
and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray;
and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men,
neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is profane and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:13-17
New Living Translation
13 For after all this punishment, the people will still not repent.
They will not seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
14 Therefore, in a single day the Lord will destroy both the head and the tail,
the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.
15 The leaders of Israel are the head,
and the lying prophets are the tail.
16 For the leaders of the people have misled them.
They have led them down the path of destruction.
17 That is why the Lord takes no pleasure in the young men
and shows no mercy even to the widows and orphans.
For they are all wicked hypocrites,
and they all speak foolishness.
But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike.
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)
