“The ancient and honourable , he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.”
Isaiah 9:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 9:15
Verse 15 clarifies verse 14's metaphor. The 'ancient and honourable' are the head (leadership); the lying prophet is the tail (misleading followers). The inversion is significant—prophets should be heads (spiritual leaders), but false prophets become tails (lowest, most despised). 'The prophet that teacheth lies' is singled out for special condemnation. False teaching doesn't just fail to help; it actively destroys. This underscores the critical importance of sound doctrine—eternal consequences hang on whether teaching aligns with God's revealed truth.
