Isaiah 9:13-21

13But the peopleH5971 did notH3808 returnH7725 toH5704 Him who struck themH5221 ; they did notH3808 seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635.14So the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 Israel’sH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, both palm branchH3712 and reedH100 in a singleH259 dayH3117.15The headH7218 is the elderH2205 and honorableH5375 manH1931, and the tailH2180 is the prophetH5030 who teachesH3384 liesH8267.16ForH1961 those who guideH833 this peopleH5971 H2088 mislead themH8582, and those they misleadH833 are swallowed upH1104.

17ThereforeH5921 H3651 the LordH136 takes noH3808 pleasureH8055 inH5921 their young menH970;He has noH3808 compassionH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 andH853 widowsH490.ForH3588 every one of themH3605 is godlessH2611 and wickedH7489,and everyH3605 mouthH6310 speaksH1696 follyH5039.

Despite allH3605 thisH2063, His angerH639 is notH3808 turned awayH7725;His handH3027 is stillH5750 upraisedH5186.

18ForH3588 wickednessH7564 burnsH1197 like a fireH784that consumesH398 the thornsH7898 and briersH8068and kindlesH3341 the forestH3293 thicketsH5442,which roll upwardH55 in billowsH1348 of smokeH6227.19By the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635the landH776 is scorchedH6272,and the peopleH5971 areH1961 fuelH3980 for the fireH784.NoH3808 manH376 even sparesH2550 H413 his brotherH251.

20They carve outH1504 what is onH5921 the rightH3225,but they are still hungryH7456;they eatH398 what is onH5921 the leftH8040,but they are still notH3808 satisfiedH7646.Each oneH376 devoursH398 the fleshH1320 of his own offspringH2220.121ManassehH4519 devours EphraimH669,and EphraimH669 ManassehH4519;togetherH3162 H1992 they turn againstH5921 JudahH3063.

Despite allH3605 thisH2063, His angerH639 is notH3808 turned awayH7725;His handH3027 is stillH5750 upraisedH5186.
