What do we learn from "v'Hayah cha'Am ka'Kohen"?

1.

Rashi: I will equate the nation for disgrace like these who profaned them from being a Kohen to them. Therefore, also I will profane the nation amidst Nochrim. Yonason translates like this.

2.

Radak: This equates each to the other. Verses speak like this ? "Ki Chamocha k'Far'o" (Bereishis 44:18), "ka'Malveh ka'Loveh" (Yeshayah 24:2). Just like the nation and Kohen are equal in sin, they will be equal in the punishment.

3.

Malbim: The nation will sin b'Mezid, for the Kohen teaches them to do evil deeds like himself.

2)

Why does it say both "u'Fakadti Alav Derachav" and "u'Ma'alalav Ashiv Lo?

1.

Malbim: I will punish him for his evil ways, and 'pay' him Midah k'Neged Midah.
