Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| as with the people, so with the priest--All alike shall share the same calamity: no favored class shall escape (compare Eze 7:12-13; Hos 4:9; Rev 6:15). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
As with the people, so with the priest - This does not mean in moral character, but in destiny. It does not mean that the character of the priest would have any influence on that of the people, or that because the one was corrupt the other would be; but it means that all would be involved in the same calamity, and there would be no favored class that would escape. The prophet, therefore, enumerate the various ranks of the people, and shows that all classes would be involved in the impending calamity.
As with the taker of usury - He who lends his money at interest. It was contrary to the Mosaic law for one Israelite to take interest of another Lev 25:36; Deu 23:19; Neh 5:7, Neh 5:10; but it is not probable that this law was very carefully observed, and especially in the corrupt times that preceded the Babylonian captivity. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| It shall be - The approaching calamity shall be universal, without any distinction of persons or ranks; the priests themselves having been partakers of the peoples sins, shall also partake with them in their plagues. The seller - The purchaser of lands shall have no more left than he that hath sold all his patrimony; and all persons shall be made equal in beggary and slavery. |
15 And [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] the great men [3175], and [2532] the rich men [4145], and [2532] the chief captains [5506], and [2532] the mighty men [1415], and [2532] every [3956] bondman [1401], and [2532] every [3956] free man [1658], hid [2928] themselves [1438] in [1519] the dens [4693] and [2532] in [1519] the rocks [4073] of the mountains [3735];
9 And there shall be, like people [05971], like priest [03548]: and I will punish [06485] them for their ways [01870], and reward [07725] them their doings [04611].
12 The time [06256] is come [0935], the day [03117] draweth near [05060]: let not the buyer [07069] rejoice [08055], nor the seller [04376] mourn [056]: for wrath [02740] is upon all the multitude [01995] thereof.
13 For the seller [04376] shall not return [07725] to that which is sold [04465], although they were yet alive [02416]: for the vision [02377] is touching the whole multitude [01995] thereof, which shall not return [07725]; neither shall any [0376] strengthen [02388] himself in the iniquity [05771] of his life [02416].
10 I likewise, and my brethren [0251], and my servants [05288], might exact [05383] of them money [03701] and corn [01715]: I pray you, let us leave off [05800] this usury [04855].
7 Then I consulted [04427] with myself [03820], and I rebuked [07378] the nobles [02715], and the rulers [05461], and said [0559] unto them, Ye exact [05378] [05383] [05375] usury [04855], every one [0376] of his brother [0251]. And I set [05414] a great [01419] assembly [06952] against them.
19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury [05391] to thy brother [0251]; usury [05392] of money [03701], usury [05392] of victuals [0400], usury [05392] of any thing [01697] that is lent upon usury [05391]:
36 Take [03947] thou no usury [05392] of him, or increase [08636]: but fear [03372] thy God [0430]; that thy brother [0251] may live [02416] with thee.
