Albert Barnes Commentary 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 creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him." — Isaiah 24:2 (ASV)

As with the people, so with the priest - This does not mean in moral character, but in destiny. It does not mean that the character of the priest would have any influence on that of the people, or that because the one was corrupt the other would be; but it means that all would be involved in the same calamity, and there would be no favored class that would escape. The prophet, therefore, enumerates the various ranks of the people, and shows that all classes would be involved in the impending calamity.

As with the taker of usury - This refers to one who lends money at interest. It was contrary to the Mosaic law for one Israelite to take interest from another (Leviticus 25:36; Deuteronomy 23:19; Nehemiah 5:7, 10); but it is not probable that this law was very carefully observed, especially in the corrupt times that preceded the Babylonian captivity.
