Esias 9:13

13 But the people turned not until they were smitten, and they sought not the Lord.

Esias 9:13 In-Context

11 And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;

12 Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this anger is not turned away, but still hand is exalted.

13 But the people turned not until they were smitten, and they sought not the Lord.

14 So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:

15 the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
