Isaiah 9:17 Go deeper
← Isaiah 9 · ← verse 16 · verse 18 →
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. (KJV)
