Isaiah 9:17 ASV

¹⁵  The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

¹⁶  For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

¹⁷  Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane 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.

¹⁸  For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

¹⁹  Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother.
