30 and the priests sit in their houses, with torn garments, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing on their heads.
31 But they roar, shouting out to their gods, just as at a feast for the dead.
32 The priests take away the garments of their gods, and clothe their wives and their sons.
33 And whether they endure evil from someone, or good, they are not able to repay it. They can neither establish a king, nor remove him.
34 Similarly, they can neither give riches, nor avenge evil. If anyone makes a vow to them, and does not keep it, they cannot require it.
