Malachi 2:1-4
1“And now this commandment is for you, O priests.
2If you do 1not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of hosts, “then I will send the 2curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have 3cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.
3Behold, I am going to 4rebuke your 5offspring, and I will 6spread 7refuse on your faces, the 8refuse of your 9feasts; and you will be taken away 10with it.
4Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, 11that My 12covenant may 13continue with Levi,” says the Lord of hosts.
