Malachi 2:1-9

1And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687is for you. 2If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 to my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820. 3Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it.123 4And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 to you, that my covenantH1285 might be with LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 5My covenantH1285 was with him of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965; and I gaveH5414 them to him for the fearH4172 which he fearedH3372 me, and was afraidH2865 beforeH6440 my nameH8034. 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 turnedH7725 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 have departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.4 9Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH5375H6440 in the lawH8451.5
