Isaiah 9:14-16

New Living Translation

¹⁴ Therefore, in a single day the Lord will destroy both the head and the tail,
    the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.
¹⁵ The leaders of Israel are the head,
    and the lying prophets are the tail.
¹⁶ For the leaders of the people have misled them.
    They have led them down the path of destruction.
