Malachi 2:1-9

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}
