YLT(i)
14 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed—the same day,
15 Elder, and accepted of face, he is the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he is the tail.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one is profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
