The levites

And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:

Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy things, Between holy and common they have not made separation, And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am pierced in their midst.

For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,

and bringeth in the priests and the Levites, and gathereth them to the broad place to the east.

and our kings, our heads, our priests, and our fathers, have not done Thy law, nor attended unto Thy commands, and to Thy testimonies, that Thou hast testified against them;

For both prophet and priest have been profane, Yea, in My house I found their wickedness, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Her prophets unstable -- men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law.

Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;

Bear

And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.

and the man hath been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman doth bear her iniquity.'

For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

Of the labour of his soul he seeth -- he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
