From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Which say to the seers -The prophets (see the note atIsaiah 1:1). See not -They desire not that they should communicate to them the will of Yahweh. Prophesy not unto us right things -It is not probable that they “openly” demanded of the prophets that they should declare falsehood and deceit, but their conduct was as if they had required that. The sense is, they bore with impatience the theatenings and commands of the true prophets; they were offended at their plainness and their reproofs of their vices; and they preferred the false prophets, who fell in with their prejudices, and who did not denounce the judgment of God for their crimes.
