Letter of Jeremiah

Letter of Jeremiah 1:28

τὰς δὲ θυσίας αὐτῶν ἀποδόμενοι οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν καταχρῶνται· ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ταριχεύουσαι οὔτε πτωχῷ οὔτε ἀδυνάτῳ μὴ μεταδῶσι.
King James Version (KJV)

As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it.

Modern English

Their priests sell off what is sacrificed to them and use it for themselves; their wives salt some of it away too, but none of it goes to the poor or the helpless.
