TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:29-31 The people’s sins (5:26-28) fully justified the Lord’s punishment, but the religious leaders committed several more. The prophets told lies and called them prophecies from the Lord (14:14; Ezek 13:6). The priests, assigned to serve the people, had become tyrants who dominated the people with an iron hand. Amazingly, the people approved of their leaders’ new roles, even though this situation left them unprepared for the doom descending upon them (Mic 2:11).

(Some words not found in UHB: the,prophets prophesy in/on/at/with,lies and,the,priests rule on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in authority,their_own and,people,my love so and,what do when,end,it )

These are the atrocities and horrors that are spoken of in verse 30.

“but what will you do at the end of all of this?” Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that the people will regret being wicked when he punishes them for it. Alternate translation: “but in the end I will punish you and you will be regret your wicked behavior” (See also: figs-explicit)
