Isaiah 9:15-18
-
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
-
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
-
17 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.
-
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
