So here is what I will do. I will punish people and priests alike. I will judge them because of their sinful lives. I will pay them back for the evil things they have done.

将来民如何，祭司也必如何；我必因他们所行的惩罚他们，照他们所做的报应他们。

将来百姓所受的，祭司也必承受；我必因他们所行的惩罚他们，照他们所做的报应他们。

将来百姓所受的，祭司也必承受；我必因他们所行的惩罚他们，照他们所做的报应他们。

将来，我的子民如何，你们祭司也如何。我要照你们的所作所为惩罚你们、报应你们，

所以，祭司怎样，人民也怎样。我必按他们的行为惩罚他们，照他们的行为报应他们。

將來民如何，祭司也必如何；我必因他們所行的懲罰他們，照他們所做的報應他們。

將來百姓所受的，祭司也必承受；我必因他們所行的懲罰他們，照他們所做的報應他們。

將來百姓所受的，祭司也必承受；我必因他們所行的懲罰他們，照他們所做的報應他們。

將來，我的子民如何，你們祭司也如何。我要照你們的所作所為懲罰你們、報應你們，

所以，祭司怎樣，人民也怎樣。我必按他們的行為懲罰他們，照他們的行為報應他們。

因此人民怎樣，祭司也怎樣；我必因他們所行的、察罰他們；我必照他們的行為還報與他們。

民如何、祭司亦將如何、我必因其所行而罰之、依其所為以報之、

故我必罰之、祭司庶民、不復置辨、俱降以災、

故民與祭司所遇惟一、我必罰其所行、視其所為以報之、

And it will be: Like people, like priests. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

‘ And what the priests do, the people also do.’ So now I will punish both priests and people for their wicked deeds.

The same judgment will happen to both people and priests. I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

And it will be, like people, like priest; So I will punish them for their ways And repay them for their deeds.

And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds.

And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.

The same judgment will happen to both people and priests. I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

I will deal with the people and priests together: I will punish them both for their ways, and I will repay them for their deeds.

It will be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.

Priests and people alike will suffer. So will masters and their servants. And so will women and their female servants. Sellers and buyers alike will suffer. So will those who borrow and those who lend. And so will those who owe money and those who lend it.

The prophets prophesy lies. The priests rule by their own authority. And my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?”

I will give their wives to other men. I will give their fields to new owners. Everyone wants to get richer and richer. Everyone is greedy, from the least important to the most important. Prophets and priests alike try to fool everyone they can.They bandage the wounds of my people as if they were not very deep.‘ Peace, peace,’ they say. But there isn’t any peace.Are they ashamed of their hateful actions? No. They do not feel any shame at all. They do not even know how to blush. So they will fall like others who have already fallen. They will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord.

They loved to curse others. May their curses come back on them. They didn’t find any pleasure in giving anyone their blessing. May no blessing ever come to them.They cursed others as easily as they put on clothes. Cursing was as natural to them as getting a drink of water or putting olive oil on their bodies.

I commanded my servants the prophets what to say. I told them what I planned to do. But your people refused to obey me. So I had to punish them.“ Then they had a change of heart. They said,‘ The Lord who rules over all has punished us because of how we have lived. He was fair and right to do that. He has done to us just what he decided to do.’ ”

So he will cut off from Israel heads and tails alike. In a single day he will cut off palm branches and tall grass alike. The palm branches are the people who rule over others. The tall grass is the people who bow down to them.The elders and important leaders are the heads. The prophets who teach lies are the tails.Those who guide the people of Israel are leading them down the wrong path. So those who follow them aren’t on the right road.

Then the Lord said to Hosea,“ Name him Jezreel. That’s because I will soon punish Jehu’s royal family. He killed many people at the city of Jezreel. So I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

Its priests break my law. They treat things set apart to me as if they were not holy. They treat holy and common things as if they were the same. They teach that there is no difference between things that are‘ clean’ and things that are not. They refuse to keep my Sabbath days. So they treat me as if I were not holy.The officials in the land are like wolves that tear their food apart. They spill blood and kill people to get rich.The prophets cover up these acts for them. The visions of these prophets are false. They use magic to try to find out what is going to happen. But their magic tricks are lies. They say,‘ The Lord and King says.’ But I have not spoken to them.The people of the land get rich by cheating others. They steal. They crush those who are poor and in need. They treat outsiders badly. They refuse to be fair to them.“ I looked for someone among them who would stand up for Jerusalem. I tried to find someone who would pray to me for the land. Then I would not have to destroy it. But I could not find anyone who would pray for it.So I will pour out my anger on its people. I will destroy them because of my great anger against them. And anything that happens to them will be their own fault,” announces the Lord and King.

Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.

They offer sacrifices as gifts to me. They eat the meat of the animals they bring. But the Lord is not pleased with any of this. He will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins. And they will return to Egypt.

You have sunk very deep into sin, just as your people did at Gibeah long ago. God will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins.

Leave the Pharisees. They are blind guides. If one blind person leads another blind person, both of them will fall into a pit.”

“ Prophets and priests alike are ungodly,” announces the Lord.“ Even in my temple I find them sinning.So their path will become slippery. They will be thrown out into darkness. There they will fall. I will bring trouble on them when the time to punish them comes,” announces the Lord.

Tell those who do what is right that things will go well with them. They will enjoy the results of the good things they’ve done.
