Letter of Jeremiah 33-35

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³³ The priests take some of the clothing of their gods^[a] to clothe their wives and children. ³⁴ Whether one does evil to them or good, they will not be able to repay it. They cannot set up a king or depose one. ³⁵ Likewise they are not able to give either wealth or money; if one makes a vow to them and does not keep it, they will not require it.
