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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 The people did not turn to him who struck them
or seek the Lord of hosts.(A)
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—(B)
15 elders and dignitaries are the head,
and prophets who teach lies are the tail,(C)
16 for those who led this people led them astray,
and those who were led by them were left in confusion.(D)
17 That is why the Lord did not have pity on[a] their young people
or compassion on their orphans and widows,
for everyone was godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth spoke folly.
For all this his anger has not turned away;
his hand is stretched out still.(E)
