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

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

“ Stay here with me,” Micah said,“ and you can be a father and priest to me. I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, plus a change of clothes and your food.”

Like greedy dogs, they are never satisfied. They are ignorant shepherds, all following their own path and intent on personal gain.

He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.

A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock.The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.

You bring shame on me among my people for a few handfuls of barley or a piece of bread. By lying to my people who love to listen to lies, you kill those who should not die, and you promise life to those who should not live.

“ I have never coveted anyone’s silver or gold or fine clothes.

In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.

They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.

So Micah installed the Levite as his personal priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.

When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power.“ Let me have this power, too,” he exclaimed,“ so that when I lay my hands on people, they will receive the Holy Spirit!”But Peter replied,“ May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God’s gift can be bought!You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God.

“ When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed. So the priests are glad when the people sin!‘ And what the priests do, the people also do.’ So now I will punish both priests and people for their wicked deeds.

“ How I wish one of you would shut the Temple doors so that these worthless sacrifices could not be offered! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,“ and I will not accept your offerings.

They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse.They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong.

Showing partiality is never good, yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.
