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.

  1. Isaiah 9:17 Or speaks disgraceful things

13 And the people did not turn to the one who struck it,[a]
    and they did not seek Yahweh of hosts.
14 So Yahweh cut off head and tail from Israel,
    palm branch and reed in one day.
15 Elders[b] and the respectable[c] are the head,
    and prophets[d] who teach lies[e] are the tail.
16 And the leaders of this people were misleading them,
    and those who were led were confused.
17 Therefore the Lord did not rejoice over its young men,
    and he did not have compassion on its orphans and widows,
for everyone was godless and an evildoer,
    and every mouth was speaking folly.
In all of this his anger did not turn away,
    and still his hand is stretched out.
