15 Los líderes de Israel son la cabeza,

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 Pues después de tanto castigo, el pueblo seguirá sin arrepentirse;
no buscará al Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales.

14 Por lo tanto, en un solo día el Señor
destruirá tanto la cabeza como la cola,
la noble rama de palma y el humilde junco.

15 Los líderes de Israel son la cabeza,
y los profetas mentirosos son la cola.

16 Pues los líderes del pueblo lo han engañado;
lo han llevado por la senda de la destrucción.

17 Por eso el Señor
no se complace en los jóvenes,
ni tiene misericordia siquiera de las viudas y los huérfanos.
Pues todos son unos hipócritas perversos,
y todos ellos hablan necedades.
Pero aun así no quedará satisfecho el enojo del Señor
.
Su puño sigue preparado para dar el golpe.
