2 Chronicles 13:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

^9 (A)Have you not driven out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes ^(B)to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are ^(C)no gods. ¹⁰ But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the Lord as priests, and the Levites ^[a]attend to their work. ¹¹ Every morning and evening ^(D)they ^[b]burn to the Lord burnt offerings and fragrant incense, and ^(E)the showbread is set on the clean table, and the golden lampstand with its lamps is ready to light every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken Him.
