And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 24 of Isaiah. Judgment now reaches the whole earth. Desolation is not limited to one nation because human transgression has defiled the earth and broken a covenant. The language universalizes the moral problem: human sin has consequences affecting the entire created and social order.

Und es geht dem Priester wie dem Volk, dem Herrn wie dem Knecht, der Frau wie der Magd, dem Verkäufer wie dem Käufer, dem Leiher wie dem Borger, dem Mahnenden wie dem Schuldner.
Y será como el pueblo, tal el sacerdote; como el siervo, tal su señor; como la criada, tal su señora; tal el que compra, como el que vende; tal el que da emprestado, como el que toma prestado; tal el que da a logro, como el que lo recibe.
Lo mismo le sucederá al pueblo que al sacerdote, al esclavo que a su amo, a la esclava que a su ama, al comprador que al vendedor, al que presta que al que toma prestado, al acreedor que al deudor.
Et il en est du sacrificateur comme du peuple, Du maître comme du serviteur, De la maîtresse comme de la servante, Du vendeur comme de l'acheteur, Du prêteur comme de l'emprunteur, Du créancier comme du débiteur.
E il sacerdote sarà come il popolo, il padrone come il servo, la padrona come la serva, chi compera come chi vende, chi presta come chi prende in presto, chi dà ad usura come chi prende ad usura.
E o que suceder ao povo, assim sucederá ao sacerdote; ao servo, como ao seu senhor; à serva, como à sua senhora; ao comprador, como ao vendedor; ao que empresta, como ao que toma emprestado; ao que dá usura, como ao que paga usura.
那時,百姓如何,祭司也如何; 僕人如何,主人也如何; 婢女如何,主母也如何; 買主如何,賣主也如何; 放債的如何,借貸的也如何; 債主如何,欠債的也如何。
