God often speaks against the leaders, both spiritual and political, but here in this chapter, God is speaking to the people. The people are rejecting God. The common people aren't innocent here; they are just as corrupt as the leaders that we read about in other places. The chapter ends with the sad words: “A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way."
