Isaiah 9:14-15

9:14 So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail,

both the shoots and stalk in one day.

9:15 The leaders and the highly respected people are the head,

the prophets who teach lies are the tail.

Isaiah 46:2

46:2 Together they bend low and kneel down;

they are unable to rescue the images;

they themselves head off into captivity.
