Isaiah 9:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ But the people do not return to the one who struck them.
    They do not follow the Lord of heaven’s armies.
¹⁴ So the Lord will cut off Israel’s head and tail.
    He will take away both the branch and stalk in one day.
¹⁵ The elders and important men are the head.
    The prophets who speak lies are the tail.
