Isaiah 9:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 9:17

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.

20 And he shall¹ snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
^aAnd not be satisfied;
^bEvery man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.

21 Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
Together they shall be ^aagainst Judah.
^bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
