On Borrowing and Lending

Isaiah 24:2 “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 creditor, so with the debtor.”

Part of an enigmatic prophetic passage which seems to point to a future judgment of God which entails a leveling of previously important distinctions. Perhaps part of the burden of this is to put lending and indebtedness into a greater perspective lest either borrowing or lending achieve too much prominence in our thinking.
