Contextual Overview
8 A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, - And it shall alight on Israel; 9 and the people shall all of them know it - Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria - Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying: 10 Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, - Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them. 11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, - And his enemies will he arouse: 12 Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, - For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched. 13 Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them, - And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought. 14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel - Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day. 15 The eider and favourite, he, is the head, - And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail; 16 And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, - And, they who are led of them are destroyed, 17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, - For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the leaders of this people cause [them] to err,.... Or, "who bless this people", as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; and so the Targum,
"who praise this people;''
that call them blessed, pronounce them happy, see Malachi 3:15 and promise them happiness, both in this world and that to come, though guilty of notorious sins, and live a vicious course of life; and so harden them in their iniquities, and cause them to wander more and more from the way of truth and righteousness; and lead them unto, and leave them in, fatal mistakes about their state and condition. These seem to design the ecclesiastical leaders of the people, the blind leaders of the blind, see Isaiah 3:12:
and [they that are] led of them [are] destroyed; or, "they" that "are blessed of them are swallowed up" c; and so irrecoverably lost; the deceivers and the deceived perish together; as it is sinful in teachers and leaders of the people to teach them false things, and lead them out of the way, it is criminal in the people to be led and taught by them, who ought to take care what they hear and receive; and therefore both are righteously punished; for the words are a reason why the Lord would cut off both the one and the other.
c ומאשריו מבלעים "qui ex hoc populo beati dicuntur, absorbebuntur", Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the leaders of this people ... - Note, Isaiah 3:12. Hebrew ‘They that call this people blessed’ - referring more particularly to the false prophets.
They that are led of them - Hebrew, ‘They that are called blessed by them.’
Are destroyed - Hebrew, ‘Are swallowed up;’ see the note at Isaiah 3:12. They are ruined; or swallowed up as in a vast whirlpool or vortex.
