‘Place where you can rest’ seems to refer to peace and safety. Ordinary people were happy and they were content with their situation. Then the evil rulers took away the place where they rested. God would now remove the rulers. He would take the rulers from the place where they rested. The rulers were *spiritually unclean (unholy). They had made the country *spiritually unclean. And they had made the people *spiritually unclean. The rulers were not good enough to be there. God would remove them.

v11 If these people do not want to listen to me, a man will come. That man will tell lies. They will believe him. They will believe a false *prophet. He will say, ‘There will be times in the future when the situation is good. There will be plenty of wine and alcohol.’
