The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
CH2 13:9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of
Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of
the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate
himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of
them that are no gods.
CH2 13:10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken
him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of
Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
CH2 13:11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening
burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order
