**וְשַׁעֲרוּרָה.** דָּבָר מְגֻנֶּה לַכֹּל. וּמַהוּ דְּבַר הַתִּמָּהוֹן? הַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאִים שֶׁקֶר וְאוֹמְרִים: הֱווּ גּוֹזְלִין וְאוֹנְסִין, וְהַכֹּהֲנִים שֶׁהֵם שׁוֹפְטֵי הָעָם וְנוֹגְשֵׂיהֶם יִרְדּוּ אֶת הָעָם עַל יְדֵי הַנְּבִיאִים, כְּלוֹמַר: לְאַחֲרֵיהֶם, כְּמוֹ ״וְהַמֶּלֶךְ עוֹבֵר וְכָל הָעָם עוֹבְרִים עַל יָדוֹ״ (שמואל ב טו:יז-כג) (רוֹדֵף) (ס״א דְּדָוִד) אַחֲרָיו, אַף כָּאן עַל יְדֵיהֶם – אַחֲרֵיהֶם, לַעֲשׂוֹת כְּדִבְרֵי הַנְּבִיאִים:

**and horrible thing** Heb. ושערורה, a disgraceful thing to all, and what is the appalling thing? The prophets prophesy falsely and say, “Rob and plunder,” and the priests, who are the judges of the people and their overseers, govern the people on the hands of the prophets, that is to say, after them. Comp. (II Sam. 15) “And the king was crossing and all the people were crossing on his hand,” stated concerning David, meaning ‘after him.’ Here too, “on their hands” means ‘after them,’ to do according to the words of the prophets.
