Malachi 2:6-13

6The lawH8451 of truthH571 was in his mouthH6310, and iniquityH5766 was not foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with me in peaceH7965 and equityH4334, and did turnH7725 manyH7227 awayH7725 from iniquityH5771. 7For the priest’sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635. 8But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.1 9Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH6440H5375 in the lawH8451.2 10Have we not all oneH259 fatherH1? hath not oneH259 GodH410 createdH1254 us? why do we deal treacherouslyH898 every manH376 against his brotherH251, by profaningH2490 the covenantH1285 of our fathersH1?

11JudahH3063 hath dealt treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 is committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 hath profanedH2490 the holinessH6944 of YhwhH3068 which he lovedH157, and hath marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a strangeH5236 godH410.3 12YhwhH3068 will cut offH3772 the manH376 that doethH6213 this, the masterH5782 and the scholarH6030, out of the tabernaclesH168 of JacobH3290, and him that offerethH5066 an offeringH4503 unto YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.4 13And this have ye doneH6213 againH8145, coveringH3680 the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065, and with crying outH603, insomuch that he regardethH6437 not the offeringH4503 any more, or receivethH3947 it with good willH7522 at your handH3027.
