Isaiah 9:14

So Yahweh cuts off ^ahead and tail from Israel,

Both palm branch and bulrush ^bin a single day.

Isaiah 9:15

The head is ^athe elder and the ¹highly respected man,

And the prophet who teaches ^bfalsehood is the tail.

Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash;

Those also who are ^ahigh in stature will be cut in pieces

And those who are lofty will be made low.

He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe,

And ^aLebanon will fall ¹by the Mighty One.
