Verse 16
Isaiah 9:16
Free Bible Version
16
As a result the Lord isn't pleased with their young men, he has no compassion for their orphans and widows, because all of them are hypocrites and do what's evil—they all talk stupidly. In all of this he is still angry and his hand is still raised.

עַל כֵּ֨ן עַל בַּחוּרָ֜י/ו לֹֽא יִשְׂמַ֣ח אֲדֹנָ֗/י וְ/אֶת יְתֹמָ֤י/ו וְ/אֶת אַלְמְנֹתָי/ו֙ לֹ֣א יְרַחֵ֔ם כִּ֤י כֻלּ/וֹ֙ חָנֵ֣ף וּ/מֵרַ֔ע וְ/כָל פֶּ֖ה דֹּבֵ֣ר נְבָלָ֑ה בְּ/כָל זֹאת֙ לֹא שָׁ֣ב אַפּ֔/וֹ וְ/ע֖וֹד יָד֥/וֹ נְטוּיָֽה
English Translation
Therefore, for my chosen ones, my lord will not rejoice, and he will not have compassion on his orphans and his widows, for all of them are corrupt and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly; despite all this, his anger has not turned back, and his hand is still stretched out.
