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 Pero el pueblo no ha querido reconoceral que lo ha castigado;no ha buscado al SEÑORTodopoderoso.

14 Por eso en un mismo díael SEÑOR le cortará a Israella cabeza y la cola,la palmera y el junco.

15 La cabeza son los ancianosy la gente de alto rango;la cola son los profetas,maestros de mentiras.

16 Los guías de este pueblo lo han extraviado;los que se dejan guiar son confundidos.

17 Por eso no se complacerá el Señor en los jóvenes,ni se apiadará de huérfanos y viudas,porque todos ellos son impíos y malvados;sus labios profieren necedades.A pesar de todo esto,la ira de Dios no se ha aplacado;¡su mano aún sigue extendida!
