Bible verse
Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Isaiah 9:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 9.
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
9 All the people will know it—Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with finished stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.
12 Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
13 But the people did not return to Him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Hosts.
14 So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.
15 The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies.
16 For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
