The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: do they seek the LORD of hosts.
ISA 9:14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail,
branch and rush, in one day.
ISA 9:15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet
that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
ISA 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they
that are led of them are destroyed.
ISA 9:17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men,
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one
is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all
this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
