The Lord had put some restraint on the National and Religious Leaders in the days of Jeremiah. This was a Manifestation of both His Holiness and His Mercy. These Leaders, however, broke themselves free from the yoke that the Lord had put on them. Spiritually it was obvious that these Leaders were unfit to lead. They knew it too! The most difficult of Church Leaders to relate to are those who are unfit to lead.
