Isaiah 9:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 9:14

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.

17 Therefore the Lord ^awill have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks¹ folly.
^bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness ^aburns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
^aThe land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
^bNo man shall spare his brother.
