Isaia 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 ) .

Isaia 9:15 In-Context

13 (H9-12) Ma il popolo non torna a colui che lo colpisce, e non cerca l’Eterno degli eserciti.

14 (H9-13) Perciò l’Eterno reciderà da Israele capo e coda, palmizio e giunco, in un medesimo giorno.

15 (H9-14) (L’anziano e il notabile sono il capo, e il profeta che insegna la menzogna è la coda).

16 (H9-15) Quelli che guidano questo popolo lo sviano, e quelli che si lascian guidare vanno in perdizione.

17 (H9-16) Perciò l’Eterno non si compiacerà de’ giovani del popolo, né avrà compassione de’ suoi orfani e delle sue vedove; poiché tutti quanti son empi e perversi, ed ogni bocca proferisce follia. E, con tutto ciò, la sua ira non si calma, e la sua mano rimane distesa.
