Isaiah 9:10-15

10The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

11Therefore the LORD shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir up his enemies;

12the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.

14Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.

15The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
