Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

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.

[*](12. Or, ‘Aram from the East. and the Phil. from the West.’)[*](17. ‘young men’: or ‘chosen men’: cf. xxxi. 8.)

18 For wickedness burned as a ﬁre: briers and thorns it devoured, and it kindled the thickets of the forest, and they were. whirled upward with a lifting-up of smoke.
