This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Her prophets; by education, profession, and unwarranted practice called so, false prophets; such Zedekiah, and probably Chenaanah, &c., were. Are light; unstable and inconstant, ready to comply with humours which they should have reproved, 1Ki_22:13.
Treacherous persons; men of treacheries, whatever pleasing temper they seem to be of, yet still they design treachery; the Hebrew seems to run it higher, treacheries in the abstract.
Her priests, of the house of Levi, of the stock of Aaron,
have polluted the sanctuary; bound by office to keep holy the sanctuary, have defiled it, and all that is holy.
Have done violence to the law; wresting it by perverse interpretation to what sense best serveth a corrupt mind.
