gltv Malachi:2:1-9
gltv@Malachi:2:1 @ And now, O priests, this command is to you.
gltv@Malachi:2:2 @ If you will not hear, and if you will not set it on your heart to give glory to My name, says Jehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed it, because you are not setting it on your heart.
gltv@Malachi:2:3 @ Behold, I am rebuking your seed, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your solemn feasts; and one will lift you up to it.
gltv@Malachi:2:4 @ And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, to be My covenant with Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
gltv@Malachi:2:5 @ My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him for fear; and he feared Me, and he is put in awe before My name.
gltv@Malachi:2:6 @ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips. In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, and he turned many from iniquity.
gltv@Malachi:2:7 @ For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.
gltv@Malachi:2:8 @ But you have turned out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
gltv@Malachi:2:9 @ So I have also made you despised and low to all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but are lifting up faces in the law.
