Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 28. - Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary. The "princes of the sanctuary" (literally, "princes of holiness") are the principal members of the priesthood, who were carried into captivity with the rest of the people (2 Kings 25:18), and deprived of their functions, as a part of the punishment due to Israel for its sins. Israel itself was at the same time given to the curse of a severe bondage and to the reproaches of the neighboring nation.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary.--Better, holy princes. The title is given to the chief priests in 1Chronicles 24:5. In the exile their priestly functions were in abeyance. They were practically desecrated.The curse.--The cherem, or ban, answering to the anathema. The state described answers to that of Hosea 3:4.
