Isaiah 9:17 CPDV

¹⁵  The long-lived and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

¹⁶  And those who deceitfully praise this people, and those who are praised, will be thrown down violently.

¹⁷  For this reason, the Lord will not rejoice over their youths. And he will not take pity on their orphans and widows. For each one is a hypocrite, and each one is wicked, and every mouth has spoken foolishness. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.

¹⁸  For impiety has been kindled like a fire: it will devour brier and thorn, and it will burn in the dense forest, and it will be interwoven with the ascending smoke.

¹⁹  The earth has been shaken by the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and the people will become like fuel for the fire. A man will not spare his own brother.
