← Malachi Mal 2 →
[1]And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests.	[No book]
[2]If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart.	[No book]
[3]Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it.	[No book]
[4]Know then that I have sent this commandment unto you, that My covenant might be with Levi, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts.	[No book]
[5]My covenant was with him of life and peace, and I gave them to him, and of fear, and he feared Me, and was afraid of My name.	[No book]
[6]The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and did turn many away from iniquity.	[No book]
[7]For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts.	[No book]
[8]But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts.	[No book]
[9]Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have had respect of persons in the law.	[No book]
[10]Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?	[No book]
[11]Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ which He loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.	[No book]
[12]May ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ cut off to the man that doeth this, him that calleth and him that answereth out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts.	[No book]
[13]And this further ye do: ye cover the altar of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that He regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand.	[No book]
[14]Yet ye say: 'Wherefore?' Because ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.	[No book]
[15]And not one hath done so who had exuberance of spirit! For what seeketh the one? a seed given of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.	[No book]
[16]For I hate putting away, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts; therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.	[No book]
[17]Ye have wearied ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ with your words. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we wearied Him?' In that ye say: 'Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, and He delighteth in them; or where is the God of justice?'	[No book]
