Isaiah 9:15 in Context — Isaiah 9

13 Porque este povo não se converteu àquele que o feriu, nem busca ao SENHOR dos exércitos.

14 Por isso o SENHOR cortará de Israel a cabeça, a cauda, o ramo e o junco de Israel em um único dia.

15 O ancião e o homem respeitado, este é a cabeça; e o profeta que ensina falsidade é a cauda.

16 Pois os guias deste povo são enganadores; e os que por eles forem guiados estão a ponto de serem destruídos.

17 Por causa disso o Senhor não terá alegria em seus rapazes, e não terá piedade de seus órfãos e de suas viúvas; porque todos eles são hipócritas e malfeitores, e toda boca fala tolices; nem com tudo isto sua ira cessará, e sua mão ainda está estendida.
