Isaiah 9:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—
¹⁵ the elder and honored man is the head,
    and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
¹⁶ for those who lead this people lead them astray,
    and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
