And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
It shall be, as with the people, so with the priests - all alike shall share the same calamity; no favoured class shall escape.
As with the buyer, so with the seller - (cf. Ezekiel 7:12-13, "The time is come ... let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; because wrath is upon all the multitude," etc.; Hosea 4:9; Revelation 6:15.)
