Commentary on Isaiah 9:16

Theological / Devotional

Cause them to err. Nations must have leaders, but leaders sometimes lead in the wrong direction. Many a nation has been doomed because its leaders have led their people astray. He who aspires to lead should consider seriously the heavy responsibilities of leadership. The fate of a nation depends upon the counsel he gives and the example he sets. Israel failed because its leaders led the people astray.
