The accusation that the princes are glad with their wickedness and the people love those who bring shame suggests that Israel's value system has been completely inverted, that what should be condemned is celebrated. The perversion of judgment indicates that Israel no longer possesses the capacity to recognize good and evil, that habitual depravity has corrupted the moral sensibility. This verse demonstrates the comprehensive moral inversion that characterizes a people who have abandoned covenant fidelity.
