Phe
“Yahweh himself
Has scattered them.
He will regard them
No more.
No honor
Was shown
To the priests.
No favor
To the elders.”
Yahweh himself had scattered these immoral leaders. He did not have any regard for them any longer. No honor was to be shown to any of these priests, while the elders were not to be favored. Yahweh had clearly turned on these so-called spiritual leaders. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Phe in this acrostic poem.
