9 And it will be: Like people, like priests.

I will punish both of them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

10 “They will eat but not have enough;

they will engage in prostitution but not flourish,

because they have deserted the Lord

to give themselves

9 And it shall be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

10 They shall eat, but not be satisfied;

they shall play the whore, but not multiply,

because they have forsaken the Lord

to cherish

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest:

And I will punish them for their ways,

And reward them their doings.

10 For they shall eat, and not have enough:

They shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase:

Because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.

9 ‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’

So now I will punish both priests and people

for their wicked deeds.

10 They will eat and still be hungry.

They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it,

for they have deserted the Lord

9 The priests are as wrong as the people,

and I will punish them both for what they have done.

I will repay them for the wrong they have done.

10 “They will eat

but not have enough;

they will have sexual relations with the prostitutes,

but they will not have children,

because they have left the Lord

to give themselves to

9 And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. 10 And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

9 And it shall be as the people so the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and recompense to them their doings; 10 and they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: for they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

9 So the priests will be punished like the people. 

I will punish them for their wicked ways 

and pay them back for what they have done. 

10 “They will eat, but they’ll never be full. 

They will have sex with prostitutes, but they’ll never have children. 

They have abandoned the Lord. 

9 The same judgment will happen

to both people and priests.

I will punish them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

10 They will eat but not be satisfied;

they will be promiscuous but not multiply.

For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.

9 And it shall be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways,

and repay them for their deeds.

10 They shall eat, but not be satisfied;

they shall play the whore, but not multiply;

because they have forsaken the Lord

to devote themselves to

9 And it will be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways,

and I will requite them for their deeds.

10 They will eat and not be satisfied;

they will play the whore and not multiply,

because they have forsaken Yahweh to devote themselves to

9 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.

10 “My people will eat.

But they will not have enough.

They will have sex with prostitutes.

But they will not have any children.

That is because they have deserted me.

9 And it will be, like people, like priest;

So I will punish them for their ways

And repay them for their deeds.

10 They will eat, but not have enough;

They will play the harlot, but not increase,

Because they have stopped giving heed to the Lord.
