In these verses God is scolding the people for backsliding. In this case it was not just an individual but it was the nation. However a nation is made up of individuals. All must do their part if the nation is to be preserved.
God has a word for the priests of Israel too. Usually the spiritual leaders have a great responsibility when the nation goes bad.
There is the thought of the sounding of the trumpet. In those days the trumpet meant warning that an enemy was coming in. It seems that this was missing. It meant sin was coming in like a flood. Where are the trumpet blowers in our nations? Who is listening?
Then there were the so called Princes. This could represent the political leaders of the day. Where are they and what do they represent? We are all together in this. You and I must carry out our load.
