Isaiah 3:4
4 And I will give [nathan] children [na`ar] to be
their princes, [sar] and babes [ta`aluwl] shall rule [mashal] over
them. KJV-Interlinear
4 And I
will make mere lads their princes And capricious children will rule over them, NASB
Eccl 10:16
16 Woe to you, O land,
whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning. NASB
Children lack talent and
qualification. Babes lack knowledge and experience. When both are combined in adults, it leads to
a description of leaders who are both lacking in knowledge, experience, and
qualification for the roles that they presume they can perform.
A spiritually deficient
society, lacks wisdom, lacks legitimate knowledge, lacks orientation to life
and the world around them. They behave
no better than infants who are obviously not qualified to rule, but they do not
see this deficiency in themselves.
And so, God gives a spiritually
dysfunctional society, over to their most wise, who are not wise, to their most
experienced, who are not experienced, to their most qualified, who are not
qualified. The result? Disaster.
People choose their
leaders based not on objective credentials, but on emotional bias, popularity,
nostalgia or pettiness. And of course, the
wrong people get into positions of leadership.
And they rule with child-like qualities.
They are selfish, self-centered, ego driven, and petty. They will micro manage to the n’th degree and
establish nonsense as their priorities.
Real problems will be
overlooked as they are too difficult to manage, and fake problems or little
things will get all of the attention.
The result? Well, that is tomorrows study.
