9  ^eAnd it shall be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

16  The Lord himself¹ has ^zscattered them;

he will regard them no more;

no honor was shown to the priests,

^ano favor to the elders.

1  For behold, the Lord God of hosts

is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah

support and supply,¹

all support of bread,

and all support of water;

2  the mighty man and the soldier,

the judge and the prophet,

the diviner and the elder,

3  the captain of fifty

and the man of rank,

the counselor and the skillful magician

and the expert in charms.
