The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 9:15 Go To Isaiah 9
Primasius of Hadrumetum
AD 560
Remember what is written in Isaiah: “The elder and honored man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail, and there will be some who delight my people while deceiving them, and those who are delighted will be cast headlong.” Thus it is clear that some desire to master those domains which all the saints and teachers of the truth are zealous to avoid, namely, worldly glory and the deception of harmful preaching. The power in their tails, therefore, extends back into this life for five months, where the lie is able to marshal the wicked or temporarily to torture the spiritual.
