Barnes' Notes
For the leaders of this people ... - Note, Isaiah 3:12. Hebrew ' They that call this people blessed' - referring more particularly to the false prophets.
They that are led of them - Hebrew, ' They that are called blessed by them.'
Are destroyed - Hebrew, ' Are swallowed up;' see the note at Isaiah 3:12. They are ruined; or swallowed up as in a vast whirlpool or vortex.
