Malachi 2:1-11

And now, O ye priests
<03548>_,

this commandment
<04687>

[is] for you.

If ye will not hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and if ye will not lay
<07760> (8799)

[it] to heart
<03820>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

glory
<03519>

unto my name
<08034>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I will even send
<07971> (8765)

a curse
<03994>

upon you, and I will curse
<0779> (8804)

your blessings
<01293>_:

yea, I have cursed
<0779> (8804)

them already, because ye do not lay
<07760> (8802)

[it] to heart
<03820>_.

Behold, I will corrupt
<01605> (8802)

your seed
<02233>_,

and spread
<02219> (8765)

dung
<06569>

upon your faces
<06440>_,

[even] the dung
<06569>

of your solemn feasts
<02282>_;

and [one] shall take you away
<05375> (8804)

with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one...: or, it shall take you away to it}

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I have sent
<07971> (8765)

this commandment
<04687>

unto you, that my covenant
<01285>

might be with Levi
<03878>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

My covenant
<01285>

was with him of life
<02416>

and peace
<07965>_;

and I gave
<05414> (8799)

them to him [for] the fear
<04172>

wherewith he feared
<03372> (8799)

me, and was afraid
<02865> (8738)

before
<06440>

my name
<08034>_.

The law
<08451>

of truth
<0571>

was in his mouth
<06310>_,

and iniquity
<05766>

was not found
<04672> (8738)

in his lips
<08193>_:

he walked
<01980> (8804)

with me in peace
<07965>

and equity
<04334>_,

and did turn
<07725> (0)

many
<07227>

away
<07725> (8689)

from iniquity
<05771>_.

For the priest's
<03548>

lips
<08193>

should keep
<08104> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_,

and they should seek
<01245> (8762)

the law
<08451>

at his mouth
<06310>_:

for he [is] the messenger
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

But ye are departed
<05493> (8804)

out of the way
<01870>_;

ye have caused many
<07227>

to stumble
<03782> (8689)

at the law
<08451>_;

ye have corrupted
<07843> (8765)

the covenant
<01285>

of Levi
<03878>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{stumble at: or, fall in}

Therefore have I also made
<05414> (8804)

you contemptible
<0959> (8737)

and base
<08217>

before all the people
<05971>_,

according
<06310>

as ye have not kept
<08104> (8802)

my ways
<01870>_,

but have been partial
<05375> (8802) <06440>

in the law
<08451>_.

{have been...: or, lifted up the face against: Heb. accepted faces}

Have we not all one
<0259>

father
<01>_?

hath not one
<0259>

God
<0410>

created
<01254> (8804)

us? why do we deal treacherously
<0898> (8799)

every man
<0376>

against his brother
<0251>_,

by profaning
<02490> (8763)

the covenant
<01285>

of our fathers
<01>_?

Judah
<03063>

hath dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_,

and an abomination
<08441>

is committed
<06213> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

for Judah
<03063>

hath profaned
<02490> (8765)

the holiness
<06944>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he loved
<0157> (8804)_,

and hath married
<01166> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of a strange
<05236>

god
<0410>_.

{loved: or, ought to love}
