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.
