Isaiah 9:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 9:12

10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,

12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is¹ stretched out still.

13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.

14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush ^ain one day.

15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

16 For ^athe leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
