Isaiah 9:13-15
New English Translation

13 The people did not return to the one who struck them,
they did not seek reconciliation[a] with the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
14 So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail,
both the shoots and stalk[b] in one day.
15 The leaders and the highly respected people[c] are the head,
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
