'Dignitaries' in the Bible

Therefore My people will go into exilebecause they lack knowledge;her dignitaries are starving,and her masses are parched with thirst.

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throatand opens wide its enormous jaws,and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,her crowds, and those who carouse in her!

Who planned this for royal Tyre, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the dignitaries of the earth?

The Lord who commands armies planned it -- to dishonor the pride that comes from all her beauty, to humiliate all the dignitaries of the earth.

It is He who reduces dignitaries to nothing,Who makes the judges (rulers) of the earth meaningless (useless).
