Isaias

10 Bricks are fallen, and we will build with hewn stones; sycamores are cut down, and we will change (them) forcedars.

11 Therefore the LORD hath set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and stirred up his enemies;

12 Aram before, and the Philistines behind: and they devoUr Israelwith open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 And the people hath not turned unto him that smiteth them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.

14 And the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and rush, in one day.

15 The elder and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

16 And the leaders of this people cause them to err; and those of them that are led are swallowed up.

17 Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over its young men, neither shall have mercy on its fatherless and widows; for every one thereof is impious and an evil doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
