⁹ Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

¹⁷ All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

²⁴ Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

²⁹ Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

¹¹ Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
