So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—
the elder and honored man is the head,
and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.

So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail,
palm branch and reed in a single day.

Therefore, in a single day the Lord will destroy both the head and the tail,
the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.
The leaders of Israel are the head,
and the lying prophets are the tail.
For the leaders of the people have misled them.
They have led them down the path of destruction.

And they that are led of them are destroyed.
