Judgment Begins with Leaders
Commentators explain that the "princes of the sanctuary" refers to Israel's priests. God's judgment involved "profaning" them, meaning He stripped them of their sacred office and honor, treating them as common people. This demonstrates that spiritual authority is not a shield against accountability for sin; leaders who transgress face severe consequences.
