NASB
"For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion."
— Isaiah 9:16, NASB
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”
“For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. ”
“For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.”
“The leaders of this nation were misleading people, and the people being led were destroyed.”
“And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down, headlong.”
“For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.”
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”
Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.
So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.
The head is the elder and honorable man, And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.
For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion.
Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.
For wickedness burns like a fire; It consumes briars and thorns; It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
By the fury of the LORD of hosts the land is burned up, And the people are like fuel for the fire; No man spares his brother.
