"...Like people, like priest, is the ancient version of the modern Western
Saying: like father, like son or like mother, like daughter.  It is a very
important piece here, because the priesthood are a subset of the corrupt
people and vice versa. Both the priesthood and the people are estranged
from God and both will incur the same judgment. And it is not as though the
priests were more corrupt than the common man, they were the common man in
a position of influence and authority!  It is not as though Israel was
invaded by a sect of immoral priests and leaders.  These were those who had
risen to the top, the cream of the crop so to speak. When the moral
corruption of a nation reaches the pinnacles of power, it should not be
surprising; the true values of the people are on display...Ungodly
leadership is a natural consequence of rebellion against God.  The nation
cannot reject God and his commandments and then hope that godly leadership
will somehow rise to the top for their benefit.  The leaders will be a
reflection of the people they govern and in turn the sin of the leaders
will be reflected upon the population.  For Israel, this meant that the
priest brought disaster to the land.  Where can we find a better priest? 
Let me point you to Jesus. Like people, like priest is eternally good news
for those whose High Priest is Christ our King."
