Isaiah 9:14-16
GOD’S WORD Translation
14 So in one day the Lord will cut off from Israel
both head and tail,
both palm branches and cattails.
15 Respected and honored leaders are the head.
Prophets who teach lies are the tail.
16 Those who guide these people lead them astray.
Those who are guided by them will be destroyed.
Isaiah 9:14-16
English Standard Version
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.
