“The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.”
The wind that will feed all the king's shepherds (advisors) and the king's lovers (allies) will go into captivity because of his wickedness represents the consequences that extend beyond the king himself. All who benefit from royal patronage and power will suffer the judgment. The image shows that the king's wickedness affects everyone in his circle. The comprehensive judgment emphasizes that no one escapes when the king leads the nation into rebellion.
