With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out. 13And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought. 14And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed--the same day, 15Elder, and accepted of face, he is the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he is the tail. 16And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed. 17Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one is profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out. 18For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke! 19In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity, 20And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour. 21Manasseh--Ephraim, and Ephraim--Manasseh, Together they are against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out! ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 8Next chapterIsaiah 10›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 9 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
