For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is 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 from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. 15 The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. 16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed. 17 Therefore the Lord will 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 speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 18 For wickedness burns like the fire; it will devour the briers and thorns and will kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they will mount up like the lifting up of smoke. 19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts the land is burned and the people will be as fuel for the fire; no man will spare his brother. 20 And he will snatch on the right hand and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand and not be satisfied; they will eat every man the flesh of his own arm. 21 Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
