^14 (15) The old and the honored are the head,
while prophets teaching lies are the tail.
^15 (16) For those leading this people lead them astray,
and those led by them are destroyed.
^16 (17) Therefore Adonai takes no joy in their young men
and has no compassion on their orphans and widows;
for everyone is ungodly and does evil,
every mouth speaks foolishly.
