Isaiah 9:17

---

← Isaiah 9:16	Isaiah 9:17 (KJV)	Isaiah 9:18 →
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.	For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up [like] the lifting up of smoke.
