The prophets told lies and called them prophecies from the Lord (14:14 e; Ezek 13:6 f). The priests, assigned to serve the people, had become tyrants who dominated the people with an iron hand. Amazingly, the people approved of their leaders’ new roles, even though this situation left them unprepared for the doom descending upon them (Mic 2:11 g).
