Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Look, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi," says the LORD of hosts. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi," says the LORD of hosts. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Do we not all have one father? Hasn't one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>The LORD will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him who offers an offering to the LORD of hosts.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>This again you do: you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn't regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Yet you say, 'Why?' Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence." says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/malachi/2-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, 'How have we wearied him?' In that you say, 'Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them;' or 'Where is the God of justice?'<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
