Letter of Jeremiah 6:33 In-Context

31 and in their temples the priests sit with their clothes torn, their heads and beards shaved, and their heads uncovered.

32 They howl and shout before their gods as some do at a funeral banquet.

33 The priests take some of the clothing of their gods to clothe their wives and children.

34 Whether one does evil to them or good, they will not be able to repay it. They cannot set up a king or depose one.

35 Likewise they are not able to give either wealth or money; if one makes a vow to them and does not keep it, they will not require it.
