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 Mas el pueblo no se convirtió al que lo hería, ni buscaron al SEÑOR de los ejércitos.

14 Y el SEÑOR cortará de Israel cabeza y cola, ramo y caña en un mismo día.

15 El viejo y venerable de rostro es la cabeza; el profeta que enseña mentira, éste es cola.

16 Porque los gobernadores de este pueblo son engañadores; y sus gobernados, perdidos.

17 Por tanto, el Señor no tomará contentamiento en sus jóvenes, ni de sus huérfanos y viudas tendrá misericordia; porque todos son falsos y malignos, y toda boca habla despropósitos. Con todo esto no cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano está extendida.
