## Isaiah 9:12 in Context (Verses 9–15 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/9) And all the people shall know, *even* Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
 
 [10 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/10) The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change *them into* cedars.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/11) Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/12) The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand *is* stretched out still.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/13) ¶ For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/14) Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/9/15) The ancient and honourable, he *is* the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he *is* the tail.
 
[Isaiah 8](/kjv/isaiah/8) [Isaiah 10](/kjv/isaiah/10)
