15 as autoridades e os homens de destaque são a cabeça,os profetas que ensinam mentiras são a cauda.

Isaías 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:15

The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head
The elder in office, not in age; and who, on account of his office, dignity, and riches, is honoured by men, is of a venerable countenance himself, and is reverenced when seen and looked upon by others, and received by persons with pleasure and cheerfulness; as the phrase used signifies. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "who admire", or "have" men's "persons in admiration"; which is the character Jude gives of false teachers, ( Jude 1:16 ) who are next described: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail;
so called from their low extract, being often of a mean original and descent; or rather from the meanness of their spirits, their flattery of princes and great men, to whom they tell lies, and prophesy smooth and false things, for the sake of a little sordid gain, in allusion to dogs that wag their tails at their masters; or from the poison of their doctrines, some creatures having poison in their tails, and do much mischief with them. See ( Revelation 9:19 ) .

Isaías 9:15 In-Context

13 Mas o povo não voltou para aquele que o feriu,nem buscou o SENHOR dos Exércitos.

14 Por essa razão o SENHOR corta de Israel tanto a cabeça como a cauda,tanto a palma como o junco, num único dia;

15 as autoridades e os homens de destaque são a cabeça,os profetas que ensinam mentiras são a cauda.

16 Aqueles que guiam este povo o desorientam,e aqueles que são guiados deixam-se induzir ao erro.

17 Por isso o Senhor não terá nos jovens motivo de alegria,nem terá piedade dos órfãos e das viúvas,pois todos são hipócritas e perversos,e todos falam loucuras.Apesar disso tudo, a ira dele não se desviou;sua mão continua erguida.
