Isaiah 9:15
World English Bible (WEB)
The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
In context
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 The elder and the honorable 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 destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
