Isaiah 9:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 The people do not turn back to the one who struck them,
nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.
13 So the Lord cuts off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day.(A)
14 (The elder and the noble are the head,
the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.)(B)
