V.1-10 The priests who ought to have been guides to the people, are next spoken to. God had raised up the priests to be His messengers and the go-between God and His people. He had made an agreement with them that he would bless them if they glorified God.
V.7 Each believer today is a priest (1 Pet. 2:5). We have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16). We have wisdom from God (1 John 2:20).
V.11-13 Religious evils. Do you realize the great distance believers have departed from God in religious evils? The Lord calls us back (2 Tim. 2:21).
V.14-17 Unfaithfulness to God and His Word is pictured by unfaithfulness in the marriage relationship. If we are friendly with those who do not follow the Lord, we are unfaithful to Him!
