Isaiah 9:15

Yahweh's Anger Against Arrogance

¹⁴ Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. ¹⁵ The head is the elder and honorable man,
And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.
¹⁶ For the governors of this people are deceivers, and those who are governed by them are lost.
