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
International Standard Version
Judgment for Not Repenting
13 “But the people have not returned to rely[a] on[b] him who struck them,
nor have they sought the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
14 So the Lord has cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed
in[c] a single day—
15 the elder and the dignitary is the head,
and 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 have pity on[d] their young men,
and has no compassion on their orphans[e] and widows,
because each of them was godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth spoke folly.
“Yet[f] for all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still stretched out, ready to strike.[g]
