Isaiah 9:13-15

Amplified Bible

¹³ 
Yet the people do not turn back [in repentance] to Him who struck them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts [as their most essential need].
¹⁴ 
Therefore the Lord cuts off head and tail [the highest and the lowest] from Israel,
Both [the high] palm branch and [the low] bulrush in one day.
¹⁵ 
The elderly and honorable man, he is the head;
And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
