Isaiah 9:15

Yahweh's Anger Against Arrogance

¹⁴ For this cause the Lord took away from Israel head and tail, high and low, in one day. ¹⁵ The man who is honoured and responsible is the head, and the prophet who gives false teaching is the tail. ¹⁶ For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.
