Malachi 2:1-9

1And nowH6258, ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.

2If ye do not hearH8085, and if ye do not lay [it] to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 the curseH779 among you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have already cursedH779 them, because ye do not lay [it] to heartH3820.

3Behold, I will rebukeH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, the dungH6569 of your feastsH2282; and they shall takeH5375 you awayH5375 with it.

4And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 unto you, that my covenantH1285 might beH1961 with LeviH3878, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635.

5My covenantH1285 with him was of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965, and I gaveH5414 them to him that he might fearH3372; and he fearedH3372 me, and trembled before my nameH8034.

6The lawH8451 of truthH571 wasH1961 in his mouthH6310, and unrighteousnessH5766 wasH1961 not foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with me in peaceH7965 and uprightnessH4334, and he turnedH7725 manyH7227 from iniquityH5771.

7For the priest's lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and at his mouthH6310 they seekH1245 the lawH8451; for he is the messengerH4397 of Jehovah of hostsH6635.

8But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635.

9And I alsoH1571 have madeH5414 you contemptible and base before all the peopleH5971, because ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have respect of persons in [administering] the lawH8451.
