God scolds the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem for continuing religious practices even though their hearts had grown cold and distant from God. He calls them rulers of Sodom and people of Gomorrah, referring to the wicked cities destroyed in Genesis. God resents perfunctory behavior where leaders merely go through the motions without valuing the vision that birthed their leadership. True leadership is only found when a leader's vision, values, lifestyle, conduct, image, promises, and strategy are all well aligned.
