14 (9:13) Therefore hath the Lorde rooted out of Israel both head and tayle, bough and reede in one day. 15 (9:14) By the head, is vnderstande the senatour and honourable man, and by the tayle, the prophete that preached lyes. 16 (9:15) For the guides of this people are deceauers, and those that be gouerned are vtterly lost. 17 (9:16) Therefore shall the Lorde haue no pleasure in their young men, neither haue pitie of their fatherlesse and wydowes: for they are altogether hypocrites and wicked, and al their mouthes speake folly: After all this is not the Lordes wrath ceassed, but yet his hand is stretched out styll. 18 (9:17) For vngodlynesse burneth as a fire, and shall deuour bryers and thornes, and it shall burne as in the thicket of a wood, and the wicked aduaunce them selues, as the smoke is caryed vp. 19 (9:18) Thorowe the wrath of the Lorde of hoastes is the lande full of darknesse, and the people be consumed as it were with fire: no man doth spare his brother. 20 (9:19) But he robbeth on the right hande, and doth famishe, he eateth on the left hande, and he shall not haue inough: euery man shall eate the fleshe of his owne arme. 21 (9:20) Manasses shall eate Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they both together shall eate Iuda: After all this is not the Lordes wrath ceassed, but yet his hande stretched out styll.
