The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 9 of Isaiah. The second half of the chapter shows that judgment does not stop because the people refuse to acknowledge it. Ephraim and Samaria respond to defeat with pride, and internal violence intensifies. The repeated statement that Yahweh’s anger has not turned away functions as a judicial refrain and reveals the persistence of rebellion.

Denn die Leiter dieses Volks sind Verführer; und die sich leiten lassen, sind verloren.
El viejo y venerable de rostro es la cabeza: el profeta que enseña mentira, este es cola.
El anciano y el hombre respetado son la cabeza; el profeta que enseña mentiras es la cola.
L'ancien et le magistrat, c'est la tête, Et le prophète qui enseigne le mensonge, c'est la queue.
L’anziano e l’uomo d’autorità sono il capo; e il profeta che insegna menzogna è la coda.
(O ancião e o homem de respeito é a cabeça; e o profeta que ensina a falsidade é a cauda).
長老和顯要就是頭, 以謊言教人的先知就是尾。
