Isaiah 9:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ So the Lord cuts off ^(A)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush ^(B)in a single day.
¹⁵ The head is ^(C)the elder and honorable man,
And the prophet who teaches ^(D)falsehood is the tail.
^16 (E)For those who guide this people are leading them astray;
And those who are guided by them are ^[a]brought to confusion.
