Baruch 6:27-30 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

27. Their priests sell their sacrifices for their own advantage. Likewise their wives cure some of the meat, but they do not share it with the poor and the weak;

28. women ritually unclean or at childbirth handle their sacrifices. From such things, know that they are not gods; do not fear them.

29. How can they be called gods? Women set out the offerings for these gods of silver and gold and wood,

30. and in their temples the priests squat with torn tunic and with shaven hair and beard, and with their heads uncovered.
