9 Have YOU not driven out Jehovah’s priests,+ the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and do YOU not keep making priests for yourselves like the peoples of the lands?+ As for anyone that came and filled his hand with power* by means of a young bull* and seven rams, he became a priest of what are no gods.*+

26 “However, they became disobedient+ and rebelled against you+ and kept casting your law behind their back,+ and your own prophets they killed,+ who bore witness against them to bring them back to you;+ and they went on committing acts of great disrespect.+
