'Princes' in the Bible
The princes of Judah have become like those who move boundary markers: I will pour out my anger on them like water.
They please the king with their evil, and the princes with their dishonesty.
"On the king's festival day the princes got drunk from wine, so the king joined the mockers.
They return but not to the Most High. They are like a defective weapon. Their princes will fall by the sword because of their raging tongue, and they will be a laughingstock in the land of Egypt."
They set kings in place, but not by me. They established princes, whom I did not recognize. They crafted idols for themselves from their silver and gold; as a result, they will be destroyed.
Even though they sold themselves to the nations, I will gather them. They will mourn for a while for the burden they were to the king and princes.
