Isaiah 9:13

Verse 13 of 21. The 9th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

9All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,

10“The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”

11Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

12The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.

14Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.

15The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.

16For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.

17Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
