Isaiah 9:13-17

13For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.

14Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel, Palm branch and bulrush in one day.

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

16For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed.

17Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men, Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows; For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
