A Warning to Arrogant Leaders
Commentators agree that Isaiah's message is aimed directly at the ruling elite in Jerusalem—princes and counselors. Their primary sin was not just disobedience, but an arrogant mockery of God's word. They trusted in their own political cunning and worldly wisdom, setting a destructive example for the people they governed. This serves as a timeless warning about the spiritual responsibility of leadership.
