Malachi:2:1-7

*
And now ,
O ye priests ,
this commandment is for you .
*
If ye will not hear ,
and if ye will not lay it to heart ,
to give glory unto my name ,
saith the LORD of hosts ,
I will even send a curse upon you ,
and I will curse your blessings :
yea ,
I have cursed them already ,
because ye do not lay it to heart .
*
Behold ,
I will corrupt your seed ,
and spread dung upon your faces ,
even the dung of your solemn feasts ;
and one shall take you away with it .
*
And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you ,
that my covenant might be with Levi ,
saith the LORD of hosts .
*
My covenant was with him of life and peace ;
and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me ,
and was afraid before my name .
*
The law of truth was in his mouth ,
and iniquity was not found in his lips :
he walked with me in peace and equity ,
and did turn #
many away from iniquity .
*
For the priests lips should keep knowledge da #
ath #,
and they should seek the law at his mouth :
for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts .
