Isaiah 9:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ The people did not turn to him who struck them
    or seek the Lord of hosts.^(A)
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—^(B)
15 elders and dignitaries are the head,
    and prophets who teach lies are the tail,^(C)
