The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their conduct, I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the LORD.'"The leaders had failed the people, guiding them into false practices. They will pay the price for their evil, because more is required of a leader than of those who follow him. When that thought enters my mind, it always makes me worry about being a class leader at church.
In addition, the people will also be held responsible for what they have done. Just because they were given bad guidance, it doesn't absolve them of their wrongs. God sets the standard and judges everyone according to it, no matter their circumstances, and we must acknowledge Him for that.
