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.

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)
