Además, han destituido a los sacerdotes del Señor y a los levitas, y han designado en su lugar a sacerdotes paganos. ¡Tal como lo hacen los habitantes de otros países, ustedes reciben como sacerdote a cualquiera que llega y ofrenda un novillo y siete carneros! ¡Cualquiera puede ser sacerdote de esos dioses falsos de ustedes!
