“Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 1. Priests. Such, hoarding up riches, dishonour God and his sacraments, as if they were temporal things to be purchased, and so they scandalize the weak. It would be well for them if they were reduced to poverty, (verse 2) and would repent, as they will otherwise be deprived of eternal goods, having received their wages in this world, like hirelings. John 10. Worthington.
