Malachi 2:1-6

2:1

And now, O ye priests
<03548>_,

this commandment
<04687>

[is] for you.

2:2

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>_.

2:3

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}

2:4

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>_.

2:5

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>_.

2:6

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>_.
