The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 9:14-17

  1. Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

  2. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

  3. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

  4. Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
