Isaiah 9:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ So the Lord has cut off from Israel head and tail,
    palm branch and reed
        in^[a] a single day—
¹⁵ the elder and the dignitary is the head,
    and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
¹⁶ For those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
    and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
