Isaiah 9:16

← Isaiah 9:15	Isaiah 9:16 (KJV)	Isaiah 9:17 →
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.	For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.	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.
