Commentary on Isaiah 9:16
Leaders who should guide people to safety instead lead them to destruction. 'The leaders of this people cause them to err' assigns responsibility to those in authority. 'They that are led of them are destroyed' shows the tragic consequence—followers perish due to corrupt leadership. The passive voice 'are destroyed' might suggest victimhood, but Scripture also holds followers accountable for following false teachers. This illustrates corporate solidarity in sin—both leaders and followers share guilt, though leaders bear greater responsibility.
