Isaiah 9:14-17

14Therefore, in a single day the Lord will destroy both the head and the tail, the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.

15The leaders of Israel are the head, and the lying prophets are the tail.

16For the leaders of the people have misled them. They have led them down the path of destruction.

17That is why the Lord takes no pleasure in the young men and shows no mercy even to the widows and orphans. For they are all wicked hypocrites, and they all speak foolishness. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.
