Isaiah:9:13-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them ,
neither do they seek the LORD of hosts .
*
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail ,
branch and rush ,
in one day .
*
The ancient and honourable ,
he is the head ;
and the prophet that teacheth lies ,
he is the tail .
*
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 .
*
Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened ,
and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire :
no man shall spare his brother .
*
And he shall snatch on the right hand ,
and be hungry ;
and he shall eat on the left hand ,
and they shall not be satisfied :
they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm :
*
Manasseh ,
Ephraim ;
and Ephraim ,
Manasseh :
and they together shall be against Judah .
For all this his anger is not turned away ,
but his hand is stretched out still .
