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
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.
