Isaiah 9:13-21

13Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought theLORDH3068of hosts.

14Therefore the LORD will cutoffוּנְשׂוּא־u.ne.su'-H5375from IsraelheadH7218andtailH2180, palm-branch and rush, in one day.

15The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teachethliesוַיִּֽהְי֛וּvai.yih.YuH1961, he is the tail.

16For they that lead thispeopleH3808causeשָׁ֣בshavH7725them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

17Therefore the Lord shallnotכִּֽי־ki-H3588rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. ForallH398this his anger isnotכִּ֤יkiH3588turnedawayH398, but his hand is stretchedoutכָאֵשׁ֙kha.'EshH784still.

18For wickedness burneth as thefireH784; it devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
