The Levite told them what Micah had done for him. He said,“ He has hired me. I’m his priest.”

他回答说：“米迦待我如此如此，请我作祭司。”

他对他们说：“米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。”

他对他们说：“米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。”

那青年便把米迦聘他做祭司的事告诉了他们。

他回答他们：“米迦如此这般待我；他雇了我，我就作了他的祭司。”

他回答說：「米迦待我如此如此，請我作祭司。」

他對他們說：「米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。」

他對他們說：「米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。」

那青年便把米迦聘他做祭司的事告訴了他們。

他回答他們：“米迦如此這般待我；他雇了我，我就作了他的祭司。”

他對他們說：『米迦這樣這樣待我；他雇了我，我就做他的祭司。』

少者以米迦如何相待告曰、米迦雇我為其祭司、

曰、米迦使我為祭司、給我以金、待我若此。

曰、米迦使我為之作祭司、給我以值、待我如此、

He told them what Micah had done for him, and said,“ He has hired me and I am his priest.”

And he said to them,“ This is how Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”

He told them about his agreement with Micah and that he had been hired as Micah’s personal priest.

He told them,“ This is what Micah has done for me: He has hired me, and I became his priest.”

He said to them,“ Micah has done this and that for me, and he has hired me and I have become his priest.”

He said to them,“ Thus and so Micah did for me. He has hired me, and I have become his priest.”

And he said unto them, Thus and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and he hath hired me, and I am become his priest.

He told them what Micah had done for him and that he had hired him as his priest.

And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

He told them what Micah had done for him, saying,“ He hired me and I became his priest.”

He said to them,“ Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”

Then Micah said to him,“ Live with me. Be my father and priest. I’ll give you four ounces of silver a year. I’ll also give you clothes and food.”

They are like dogs that love to eat. They never get enough. They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding. All of them do as they please. They only look for what they can get for themselves.

He must not get drunk. He must not push people around. He must be gentle. He must not be a person who likes to argue. He must not love money.

The hired man is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when the hired man sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.The man runs away because he is a hired man. He does not care about the sheep.

You have treated me as if I were not holy. You did it among my very own people. You did it for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. You told lies to my people. They like to listen to lies. You killed those who should have lived. And you spared those who should have died.”

I haven’t longed for anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.

These teachers are never satisfied. They want to get something out of you. So they make up stories to take advantage of you. They have been under a sentence of death for a long time. The God who will destroy them has not been sleeping.

They must be stopped. They are making trouble for entire families. They do this by teaching things they shouldn’t. They do these things to cheat people.

Then Micah appointed the Levite to serve as his priest. He lived in Micah’s house.

Simon watched as the apostles placed their hands on them. He saw that the Spirit was given to them. So he offered money to Peter and John.He said,“ Give me this power too. Then everyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”Peter answered,“ May your money be destroyed with you! Do you think you can buy God’s gift with money?You have no part or share in this holy work. Your heart is not right with God.

They live off the sins of my people. And they want them to keep on sinning.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.

“ You might as well shut the temple doors! Then you would not light useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord.“ I will not accept any of the offerings you bring.

They stare at women who are not their wives. They want to sleep with them. They never stop sinning. They trap those who are not firm in their faith. They have mastered the art of getting what they want. God has placed them under his judgment.They have left God’s way. They have wandered off. They follow the way of Balaam, son of Beor. He loved to get paid for doing his evil work.

Favoring one person over another is not good. But a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.
