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.
16
And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
17
Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this anger is not turned away, but hand is yet exalted.
18
And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
