This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
go about - that is, shall have to migrate into a land of exile. Horsley translates, “go trafficking about the land (see Jer 5:31, Margin; 2Co 4:2; 2Pe 2:3), and take no knowledge” (that is, pay no regard to the miseries before their eyes) (Isa 1:3; Isa 58:3). If the literal sense of the Hebrew verb be retained, I would with English Version understand the words as referring to the exile to Babylon; thus, “the prophet and the priest shall have to go to a strange land to practice their religious traffic (Isa 56:11; Eze 34:2, Eze 34:3; Mic 3:11).
