Isaiah 9:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—
¹⁵ elders and dignitaries are the head,
    and prophets who teach lies are the tail;
¹⁶ for those who led this people led them astray,
    and those who were led by them were left in confusion.
