10Sometimes also the Priests conuey from their gods golde and siluer, and bestow it vpon themselues. 11Yea they will giue thereof to the common harlots, and decke them as men with garments [being] gods of siluer, and gods of gold, and wood. 12Yet cannot these gods saue themselues from rust and moths, though they be couered with purple raiment. 13They wipe their faces because of the dust of the Temple, when there is much vpon them. 14And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him, holdeth a scepter as though hee were a iudge of the countrey.
