Malachi 2:8-9

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}

Malachi 3:1

Behold, I will send
<07971> (8802)

my messenger
<04397>_,

and he shall prepare
<06437> (8765)

the way
<01870>

before
<06440>

me: and the Lord
<0113>_,

whom ye seek
<01245> (8764)_,

shall suddenly
<06597>

come
<0935> (8799)

to his temple
<01964>_,

even the messenger
<04397>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

whom ye delight
<02655>

in: behold, he shall come
<0935> (8804)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.
