Isaiah 9:14-17

14Therefore the Lord cuts off head and tail [the highest and the lowest] from Israel, Both [the high] palm branch and [the low] bulrush in one day.

15The elderly and honorable man, he is the head; And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

16For those who lead this people are causing them to go astray; And those who are led [astray] by them are swallowed up.

17Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, Nor does He have compassion on their fatherless or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn away But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].
