Isaiah 9:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Those who lead this people lead them astray,
and those who are led are swallowed up.(A)
16 That is why the Lord does not spare their young men,
and their orphans and widows he does not pity;
For they are totally impious and wicked,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this, his wrath is not turned back,
his hand is still outstretched!
17 For wickedness burns like fire,
devouring brier and thorn;
It kindles the forest thickets,
which go up in columns of smoke.(B)
Isaiah 9:15-17
New International Version
15 the elders(A) and dignitaries(B) are the head,
the prophets(C) who teach lies(D) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(E) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(F)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(G)
nor will he pity(H) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(I) and wicked,(J)
every mouth speaks folly.(K)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(L)
