Malachi:2:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now ,
therefore ,
for you ,
is this charge ,
O ye priests :
*
If ye will not hear ,
and if ye will not lay it to heart ,
to give glory to my Name ,
saith Yahweh of hosts ,
then will I send among you the curse ,
and will curse your blessings ,
and indeed I have cursed them ,
because ye are not at all laying it to heart .
*
Behold me !
threatening ,
on your account ,
the seed ,
and I will scatter refuse upon your faces ,
the refuse of your festivals ,
and one shall carry you away unto it ;
*
So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge ,
as being my covenant with Levi ,
saith Yahweh of hosts .
*
My covenant ,
was with him ,
Life and Well-being ,
so I gave them to him as One to be revered and he did revere me ,
and ,
before my Name ,
dismayed ,
was he .
*
The deliverance of truth ,
was in his mouth ,
and ,
perverseness ,
was not found in his lips ,
In well-doing and in uprightness ,
walked he with me ,
and ,
multitudes ,
did he turn from iniquity .
*
For ,
the lips of a priest ,
should keep knowledge ,
and ,
a deliverance ,
should men seek at his mouth ,
for ,
the messenger of Yahweh of hosts ,
he is .
*
But ,
ye ,
have departed out of the way ,
ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance ,
ye have violated the covenant of Levi ,
saith Yahweh of hosts .
*
Therefore ,
I also ,
will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people ,
in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways ,
but have had respect to persons ,
in giving your deliverance .
