14
So the Lord cuts off (A)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush (B)in a single day.
15
The head is (C)the elder and honorable man,
And the prophet who teaches (D)falsehood is the tail.
16
(E)For those who guide this people are leading them astray;
And those who are guided by them are (a)brought to confusion.
