D. Judgment Upon the Wicked Leaders (11:1-15)

The vision of twenty-five of Israel’s leaders who had sold out to evil rather than righteousness portrays what happens when leaders reject God as their source of wisdom and direction. Leadership is a terrible responsibility. Leaders dare not forget that they are responsible not only to their followers but to God himself. When leaders fail, they destroy their followers as well as themselves.
