Isaiah 9:13-17

13Yet the people 1do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they 2seek the Lord of armies.14So the Lord cuts off 3head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush 4in a single day.15The head is 5the elder and esteemed man, And the prophet who teaches 6falsehood is the tail.167For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are 8confused.17Therefore the Lord does 9not rejoice over their young men, 10Nor does He have compassion on their 11orphans or their widows; For every one of them is 12godless and an 13evildoer, And every 14mouth is speaking foolishness. 15In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away, And His hand is still stretched out.
