Isaiah 9:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ Yet the people turn not to Him Who smote them, neither do they seek [inquire for or require as their vital need] the Lord of hosts.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail [the highest and the lowest]—[high] palm branch and [low] rush in one day;

¹⁵ The elderly and honored man, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
