Malachi 2

1And nowH6258, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for youH413. 2IfH518 ye will notH3808 hearH8085, and ifH518 ye will notH3808 layH5414 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, then will I sendH7971 the curseH779 uponH5921 youH3588, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yeaH3588, I have cursedH779 them already, becauseH3588 ye doH518 notH3808 layH5414 it to heartH3820. 3BeholdH2005, I will rebukeH1605 the seedH2233 for your sakeH5921, and will spreadH2219 dungH6569 uponH5921 your facesH6440, evenH853 the dungH6569 of your sacrifices; and ye shall be takenH5375 awayH5375 with it. 4And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 unto youH3588, that my covenantH1285 might be with LeviH3878, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 5My covenantH1285 was with him of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965; and I gaveH5414 them to him that he might fearH3372, and he fearedH3372 meH5414, and stoodH2865 in aweH2865 of my nameH8034. 6The lawH8451 of truthH571 was in his mouthH6310, and unrighteousnessH5766 was notH3808 foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with meH7725 in peaceH7965 and uprightnessH4334, and didH3808 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 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 8But ye are turnedH5493 asideH5493 outH4480 of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 in the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 9Therefore have I also madeH5414 youH834 contemptible and base beforeH6440 allH3605 the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have notH369 keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have had respectH6440 of persons in the lawH8451. 10Have weH3605 notH3808 allH3605 one fatherH1? hath notH3808 one GodH410 createdH1254 us? whyH4069 doH3605 weH3605 dealH898 treacherouslyH898 everyH3605 manH376 againstH376 his brotherH251, profaningH2490 the covenantH1285 of our fathersH1? 11JudahH3063 hath dealtH898 treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 is committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 hath profanedH2490 the holinessH6944 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he loveth, and hath marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a strangeH5236 godH410. 12The LORDH3068 will cutH3772 offH3772 to the manH376 that doeth this him that waketh and him that answereth, outH376 of the tentsH168 of JacobH3290, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 13And this againH5750 ye doH6213: ye coverH3680 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth notH369 the offering anyH5750 moreH5750, neitherH369 receiveth it with goodH7522 will at your handH3027. 14Yet ye sayH559, Wherefore? BecauseH3588 the LORDH3068 hath been witness betweenH996 thee and the wifeH802 of thy youthH5271, againstH5921 whomH834 thou hast dealtH898 treacherouslyH898, thoughH3588 sheH1931 is thy companionH2278, and the wifeH802 of thy covenantH1285. 15And didH6213 he notH3808 makeH6213 one, althoughH3808 he had the residue of the spiritH7307? And wherefore one? He soughtH1245 a godlyH430 seedH2233. Therefore takeH8104 heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, and letH408 noneH3808 dealH898 treacherouslyH898 againstH8104 the wifeH802 of his youthH5271. 16For I hateH8130 puttingH7971 awayH7971, saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and him that covereth his garmentH3830 with violenceH2555, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: therefore takeH8104 heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that ye dealH898 notH3808 treacherouslyH898. 17Ye have weariedH3021 the LORDH3068 with your wordsH1697. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein have weH3605 weariedH3021 him? In that ye sayH559, EveryH3605 one that doeth evilH7451 is goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and he delighteth in them; or whereH346 is the GodH430 of judgmentH4941?
